Evening all,

I have been working on a particular folder which will not rename. All other folders seem ok. I am allowed to create a Collection and name it, but cannot rename the actual folder?
The folder properties are identical to any other folder. The only difference is that I have tried a couple of edits in PS, which have gone back into LR as TIFF instead of DNG.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Mark

Could be a permission issue. Can you rename it in Windows Explorer? If so, rename it there and then right-click on it in Lightroom (it will show as 'missing') and choose 'Find missing Folder'. Select the folder with the new name and you're done.
 
I get this occasionally, and a similar problem deleting.

It's not usually Windows that causes the problem but is because LR is reading one of the photos to build a thumbnail preview. Wait a short while, then try again.
