Not sure if this is relevant, but I have run into problems with
renaming manually from
Windows 8 on. I note that the rename is deliberately setting Upper
and Lower case for parts of
the path. I don't do this programmatically, but I frequently Rename
files to try to control the
Sort Order in the Explorer, and have many times encountered it
simply ignoring my changes.
I Rename to "New Schedule", and when I hit enter it goes right back
to "new SCHEDULE".
Finally figured out that if a name change is only a case change,
Windows says that's not a "real" change
and refuses to change the directory. Not what I wanted, so I now
change it to "FooBuzz 13", and then
back to "New Schedule", and am now able to get what I wanted with
only twice the work!
Is it possible that the "failures" you're seeing are the result of
the fact that the stored path never changes?
On a related note, my app has a repository for generated
invoices. I have found that creating more than one directory level
at a time with VFP's md results in the name being lower case
regardless of what I specified. If I create one level at a time, I
get the case I want. This is weird; someone had to go to some
trouble to make it work oddly.
I ended up writing a procedure to create directories one level at a time.
