Unable to rename/move files

(1/4) > >>

crashjtm:
For years, I've been using the rename/move files function to keep my library organized.  I have been unable to use it recently - I get an error that "Not all of the selected tracks can be renamed" In fact, none of the files are renamed.  I am attaching rename.png showing the error and an MC log file, rename.txt

I have run multiple tests - moving files on the same volume, moving them to a different volume, renaming in the same directory.  None of them are working for me.

Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Go to that volume (disk) and check to see if you can create, rename, move, copy files there.  It's possible the permissions are incorrect and you no longer have write permissions.

crashjtm:
Hey Brian,
Thanks for the reply.

I checked to make sure I have full permissions - and I did a chown on the entire volume to make sure my account owns everything.  I confirmed that I am able to rename, copy, and erase files.  I also ran First Aid on the disk and the volume.

I just created a new library and imported all my files. It's working fine in that library.

I'll look at restoring a recent library.

blgentry:
You might check those files you posted the screen shot of.  Can you play them from MC? 

If not, somehow the paths for those files are not what is on disk.  Hopefully restoring a recent DB backup will get you back to normal.  I really like the know the source of problems so I can understand what happened and how I might prevent it in the future.  But ultimately I'm happy when I have a solution that works.

Best of luck,
Brian.

Hey Brian,
I am able to play the files and the locate function does bring me to the right location.  I've tested a number of different directories and file types and I have the same problem with all of them.  I tried restoring a few backups and it didn't resolve the problem so I am moving forward with the new library.

Fortunately, everything is well tagged and it'll be pretty easy to recreate my views and playlists.
