GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 267521
Renaming a Virtual Folder which has subfolders does not appropriately rename subfolders to match parent's new name

Here's a bug which is probably easy to fix, and reproducible. Basically, I love Virtual Folders, so I use a lot of them. I also like the idea of virtual folders of virtual folders, and so when I organize my VFolders, I usually have some large search (Parent) and then subsearches of that larger search (Child1, Child2, etc.)... so that I may have VFolders in this configuration: Parent |-> Child1 |-> Child2 |-> ... However, the problem is that if I rename Parent to @Parent, the GUI for folder display suddenly uncollapses the view of Parent's children. In addition, if I try to right-click Child1 to get Properties, it says the VFolder does not exist (yikes!). However, if I go into the Virtual Folder Editor, I see the problem clearly. Child1 is named Parent/Child1, but it should be named @Parent/Child1. If I rename it, right-click actions work. That's it, then! If you need any clarification, just ask. -Andrew
