[🐛 | Bug]: Renaming a file leaves the file with the old name in the mountpoint

[mmmarcos]

Parsec version tested on:

3.0.0-b.11

Platforms tested on:

Linux

Bug description:

Reported by Thierry:

1. Select a file in GUI
2. Rename the file to something else (i.e. prefix name with "ZZZZ") --> The file appears with the two names in the corresponding mountpoint. Only the renamed file can be open without error.

After logout and login, everything is working OK.

Relevant output:

No response

Questions:

• was the incorrect behavior visible only on the GUI, only on the mountpoint, or on both ?
• the directory the rename occured in was the root of the mountpoint ?
• how big was the directory listed ? (if it is bigger than 100 elements the mountpoint is doing so special tricks for performances reasons)

  1. --> Impossible de reproduire le bug. L'affichage se met à jour au bout de 5 à 10 secondes. Je suppose que le bug s'est produit pendant la durée nécessaire à l'upload et la synchronisation de tout un ensemble de fichiers téléchargés en masse juste avant le changement de nom.
  2. --> Impossible to reproduce the bug. The display updates after 5 to 10 seconds. I assume the bug occurred during the time it took to upload and synchronize a whole set of files downloaded en masse just before the name change.

• the directory the rename occured in was the root of the mountpoint ? --> YES

• how big was the directory listed ? --> 7 files that include 428 elements + 798 files at the root

D'une façon plus générale, toute action commandée depuis la GUI sur ce gros directory (par exemple un filtrage des noms du dossier) met plusieurs secondes avant de produire le résultat attendu. Cette latence est assez perturbante pour l'utilisateur qui pense qu'il ne se passe rien. Quand on fait la même opération à partir de l'explorateur de fichiers (point de montage), il n'y a aucune latence. C'est un problème de temps d'exécution au niveau de la GUI.

More generally, any action commanded from the GUI on this large directory (e.g. folder name filtering) takes several seconds to produce the expected result. This latency is quite disturbing for the user, who thinks that nothing is happening. When the same operation is performed from the file explorer (mount point), there is no latency. This is a GUI execution time problem.
