i accessed that file in 2 different (comparison) programs
saving the access history in each (such that the file name was retained in a file history list)
[similar in concept to a saved 'file-list' that Everything may access]
i manually renamed the file to, "!!!!YK~1 - yk2"
each of those 2 programs were unaware of the rename
"!!!!YK~1", "being a", by virtue of having a file name in a manner representative of that of a SFN
was still "seen" by these 2 programs
- because, as it happened, the "SFN" also happened to correspond to the renamed files LFN
took me a moment (two actually) to realize just what was going on, when i was seeing two
different names, yet only one physical file
Code: Select all
W:\00>DIR /x "!!!!YK~1 - yk2
SFN: LFN:
