Error 32: Single File Rename

Error 32: Single File Rename

1262

if (single) rename file & file is open
'File In Use' (Try again | Cancel)
if (single) rename file & file is open & file is LFN
Unable to rename, Error 32: The file is open... (OK) [which totally aborts the attempted rename]

i believe that is the deal
i /believe/ that is a regression?

Error 32: The file is open in another program and the filename is invalid or too long.

This is by design as a workaround of the poor handling of very long file names in the shell.

If the file is in use and the filename is a very long file name ( > 259 characters in length ) the shell will report the error: Invalid device

If the file is in use and the filename is less than or equal to 259 characters in length the shell reports the nice 'File in Use' dialog with the program that has the file open.



I have added a 'retry' dialog (instead of the OK dialog) for the next alpha update.
