Idea

Seen with opencloud 3.7.0

  • Admin creates a folder 'sha', and shares it with Mary read/write.
  • Admin adds a text file Mary-here.txt with a few lines of text.
  • Mary (in a different browser) opens the web UI text editor and continues to add text to the file.
  • Between two autosaves in Mary's browser, admin renames the parent folder from sha to share.
  • Mary sees error messages:

Doing what is suggested "Please refresh this page" results in what is predicted: All work is lost. BAD.

Expected behaviour:

  • A "Save As" button should allow to save with a different name.
  • The message should at least say "Please copy your contents elsewhere before refreshing this page"

Workaround:

  • Mary needs to manually copy paste all new text elsewhere to rescue her work.
