Description

A local move or rename operation is correctly sent to the server.
Other computers however, whether they share the file or look at the same account, will only see that the old file disappeared and a new one appeared. They have no way to detect the rename/move.

One possible solution is to search the local database for any other file with the same hash. If such a single such file is found that is NOT present in the current listing, it is a candidate target for the rename/move operation. At this point we may ask the user or perform the rename operation

History

Can be solved by using (and storing) the X-Object-UUID attribute. It remains the same when a file is renamed/moved on the server
