---------------------------------------------
Any type of file at all?
> Renaming an unsaved file causes incorrect warning and destroys edits
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-4575
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4575
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cnd - Editor
> Affects Versions: 12.0
> Environment: Windows 10
> Reporter: Eoin Flood
> Priority: Major
>
> Steps to reproduce:
> # Create or open a file in a project
> # Make some edits in the file
> # Rename the file in the Projects window
> Result:
> 2 warnings will appear. The first will say "This object cannot be renamed
> from [name] to [new name]" . The second will open, obscuring the first, and
> will say "File [name] was changed to read-only! All changes will be
> discarded". The first warning turns out to be incorrect, as the file will be
> renamed as required, but any edits made will be lost. This also highlights a
> problem with the second warning - there is no option to tell the program to
> keep the edits or to cancel the rename.
> Issues
> # This appears to be bugged behaviour, as 2 warnings should not appear at
> once, one above the other.
> # This can destroy work done, as the renamed file will now only contain the
> content since last edited or created
> # This is not how Netbeans behaved in previous versions. Previously renaming
> files worked perfectly regardless of whether any edits were made.
> Comments:
> The functionality of previous versions of Netbeans was very valuable and is
> highly desirable. Being able to rename a file without concern. If that cannot
> be re-instated, some way to keep the work done seems required.
