43. Briefcase Blunders Part 2
Let's suppose you want to rename a file that has sync copies (in a briefcase and on another system). If you do rename the file, then the next time you perform an update operation (right-click the briefcase, select Update All, and so on), Briefcase thinks you've deleted that file. So you'll see a Delete message (called an action) next to the old filename. Yikes! As far as the briefcase is concerned, that newly named file doesn't even exist.
The solution? If you rename any copy of a briefcase file, be sure to rename all other sync copies before updating.
