Description Hauke Hell 2020-04-17 09:06:42 UTC

SUMMARY
When several image files are openend in one window, it is possible to go through them, view one after the other and use the rename function from the file menu. The new name is accepted and Gwenview takes it into the title bar. But the actual file is not renamed. 

When opening only one file in a Gwenview instance, the file is renamed as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open 2 or more image files in one Gwenview instance
2. Double-click to view image
3. Click rename from the file menu and enter new file name

OBSERVED RESULT
The file name in the file system it is not changed

EXPECTED RESULT
The file name should be like entered in Gwenview

The files are linked to a /tmp-gwenviewxxx folder, so that they are all browseable in the same view. Renaming will only rename the tmp file (link source), instead of the link destination.

I wanted to write /tmp/gwenview-xxx

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?

It seems to me that the renaming function isn't present anymore as of version 23.08.5
