Sidebar file rename

Update: it happened again, yesterday, June 26, 2026. Created 3 folders, renamed them as I created them but since they sort alphabetically automatically I then renamed them again to keep them how I wanted them. As I went to each file, all but the last one worked. Closed & reopened the app and was fine but there’s something lurking there. No loss of data/files occur.

  • Lettera Version: 1.0.0 (3980)
  • macOS Version: 26.5.1
  • What were you doing: renaming a file in the sidebar while file is open in a tab
  • What feature did you use: popup menu on rt-click, rename menu item
  • What happened: both the filename in the sidebar and the tab were renamed as well as the file on disk. When clicking back on the file in the sidebar, I receive an error msg saying the file doesn’t exist as it was pointing to the original filename. Somewhere, guessing an internal list is not being updated with the renamed files. There’s also errors when clicking on the tab under this situation but I haven’t been able to confidently recreate the error.
  • What did you expect to happen: I expected once I renamed the file that the old filename would no longer exist anywhere and that the tab and filename in the sidebar list representing the file would display the contents of the file correctly.
