I ran into a strange issue after renaming a Named Query folder in Designer.

Originally the folder was named **App** , and we renamed it to **app** to standardize casing across the project. After saving the project, the folder still appears correctly in the Designer under Named Queries, but the actual folder was removed from the project directory on disk. If you then do a project file scan it will update designer showing that the folder is gone.

The same issue was happening with individual queries as well. This is a picture of a folder that the queries were renamed under and all disappeared. Anyone seen this before?
