Mac Editor: Can't rename folders in Content Browser

swillits · September 10, 2014, 2:45am

I’m preeeetty sure this is a bug of some sort.

Once a folder is created in Content Browser, it’s impossible to rename it. Rename menu item in contextual menu is always disabled, and none of other usual tricks (double-clicking etc) seem to work.

4.4.2 binary
OS X 10.9.4

Hey swillits,

Thanks for report! I can confirm that this is not working properly in 4.4, but it is already fixed in our internal build and should appear in 4.5.

Thanks for heads-up.

I can confirm that right-clicking and choosing to rename folder is not working in Content Browser. -This has been reported as UE-30134 and is being tracked in following AnswerHub post:

[Cannot Rename Folders with Unreal Engine 4.11.2][1]

However, as a workaround, you can press F2 to rename folder or alternatively, you can change folder name in Content Viewer panel to right as shown here:

Please make sure your game is stopped. -That was my issue.
