I’ve seen a small problem when renaming SQLTags folders.

Say you have 2 folders, ‘Machine 1’ and ‘Machine 2’. You decide to add a new machine number 1 and rename the others to machine 2 and machine 3 respectively. You can change ‘Machine 2’ to ‘Machine 3’ without a problem, but if you immediately try to rename ‘Machine 1’ to ‘Machine 2’ you are told that “Tag name ‘Machine 2’ is not unique”. If you then press the SQLTags refresh button, it allows you to rename ‘Machine 1’ to ‘Machine 2’ without a problem.

Ok, the ticket has been added to our tracking system and should be fixed soon.
