Renaming a directory may result in strange behaviour

[Alexander Demura]

Description

Renaming a directory may result in duplicate directories at first, and after closing and opening the app, they won't show up, although they will be visible in iCloud

To Reproduce

1. Create top level directory, e.g. "Test"
2. Create another directory inside, e.g. "New folder"

3. Rename directory to "New Folder"

4. Folder was duplicated

In iCloud (obviously) we have only one dir

5. Close fsnotes app and open again. The "Test" dir is empty

But "New Folder" dir exists in iCloud

Can you reliable reproduce it? Me not.

[Alexander Demura]

Yes, I can. I'd say close to 100% of the time.

I recorded the process and placed file to my google drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LqZFANJchC0nLJZBQymWRFUNqzDmrY30/view?usp=share_link

0:35 While the application is loading, you can see both folders appear and disappear

Reproduced the same issue on personal mac (M1 Pro) and 14.3 (23D56)

[Oleksandr H.]

Nice catch! Reproduced. Will be fixed ASAP.

Case sensitive renaming is disabled (no more "a" to "A" renaming). You can rename from "a" to "b" and then "b" to "A". This is a cheap technical solution.

[Alexander Demura]

Is it temporary “cheap technical solution”?

[Oleksandr H.]

APFS is case insensitive by default, so there's no reason to implement this. So no, this is a permanent solution.

By the way how often do you rename directories?
