Renaming files while QuickLook is active [FIXED]

Post by sasha » Sun Feb 21, 2016 12:19 pm

Hi,

currently, files in one panel can't be renamed (F6 or shift+F6) while QuickLook (Space or CMD+Y) is active on the other panel. It would be helpful if they could.

Thanks.

Hi Sasha,

Ok, it seems that such restriction was unnecessary - I've removed it.
Also, I've added a hotkey for editing filenames in place, like with a single mouse click - ctrl+F6.

Mike,

on build 1491, this doesn't work for me.

-Files or folders can't be renamed using F6 or Shift+F6 when QuickLook is active. The menu items Command > Rename... are still greyed out.

-Quick filename editing is a great idea! Doesn't seem to be included in this build, though.

Hi Mike,

inline rename is a very nice new feature, thanks for including it. In build 1515, somtimes it produces unexpected behavior, especially with mouse clicks involved.

Here's a quick example video. Pressing CTRL+F6 twice and clicking on some other file creates an input area that never disappears and doesn't change the filename:

Hi sasha,

Oh, there're was no check that field editor already exists.. missed that side effect, just fixed it.
BTW, can you tell how are you making these videos? They looks great.

Glad to hear it was easy to fix!

Sure! That's the built-in QuickTime Player, New Screen Recording (CTRL+CMD+N). The keystrokes are displayed using keycastr (https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr).

Sasha, thanks for these last two tips on video recording! This could be useful :)
