GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 94250
Rename a folder immediately after creation
Last modified: 2004-12-31 18:54:21 UTC
Not sure if this report should go as a bug ot as an enhancement. Please move accordingly. When in the list view, the user is not able to enter a name for a folder, immediately after creation. The newly created folder item is selected, but the user cannot enter a name for the folder. He needs to again select the 'Rename' option to name the folder.
I would say this is indeed an enhancement, and also adding the usability keyword.

I did some testing on this; nautilus is trying to start a rename, but since fam will make the listview update. This triggers the behaviour described in bug #87701. I'm changing the severity to minor, since it is implemented but broken.
This should be fixed according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85076 ( with View as Icons at least ) I'll check later, downloading gnome 2.3 now.

Fixed in icon view, still valid for list view. Setting version->2.4, adding GNOMEVER2.4, GNOMEVER2.5 keywords. Updating summary to include "rename".

still here with 2.8
fixed in 2.8.2
doesnt work in list-view... reopen please.
hmm... looking closer: theres some odd bug, it sometimes works in list-view, sometimes doesnt - guess we will live with that?

markush: What version of nautilus are you using? It works for me in list view (and icon view and for desktop icons) in nautilus 2.8.2.
i am using nautilus 2.8.2 in debian unstable.
Any chance you could find the steps under which it doesn't work? I wasn't able to get the bug, but maybe it's because I'm using a mixed CVS HEAD build from various times (but mostly during the 2.9.x stage...)
exactly as described, though right now theres a short time - i guess in miliseconds where the new folder has a rename interface mask active, but it instantly changes to the normal state.
