Renaming sub-folders to Libraries causes duplication of sub-folder

Just starting seeing this problem. I've been using Foldershare for a few
years now with no issues until this one popped up.

I have multiple date-formatted sub-folders in my photo Library. Once these
sub-folders are synchronized, I cannot rename them without having Foldershare
recognize that it is a rename and not a new folder.

If I rename a sub-folder on machine 1, then FS sees it as a new folder and
copies it in its entirety to machine 2. I end up with "old" folder name and
"new" folder name on machine 2. Then, FS sees the "old" folder name on
machine 2 and thinks it needs to copy it to machine 1 as a "new" folder.
Thus, I end up with duplicate folders on both machines, one folder with the
old name and one with the new name.

Has anyone else run into this? Does FS really not recognize renaming
actions as just that rather than creating a "new" folder?

I really appreciate any feedback on this.

Thanks.

I routinely rename folders and have not had the issue you describe. I HAVE
had OTHER issues and one thing that seemed to resolve them was to delete and
then recreate the library.. when I did that I would make sure to also use a
slightly different library name.. just in case using the same name would
somehow retain the settings.

Renaming should not need to create an additional folder.

When machine 1 connects, does its login "member" have at least Editor
permission (i.e. is Editor, Senior Editor or Owner)? If it was a mere
Contributor then I presume it would have the problem you described because
the old name would be seen as a deletion which would not propagate and,
because such deletions are not permitted, it the folder would be replaced
from machine 2. The new name be seen as an addition which is permitted
and that would be propagated to machine 2.
