It is not possible to rename a file in the file explorer if a filter is active. Happens on the current version of Nova and macOS 14.0.
Steps to reproduce:
- In the file explorer, right-click → New File
- Name file “zeta.html”
- Filter file list for “zeta” and it shows the file you just created
- Select zeta.html and duplicate with ⌘C ⌘V
- Clear filter to show all files
- Re-filter file list for “zeta” showing “zeta.html” and “zeta copy.html”
- Select “zeta copy.html” and rename to “zeta2.html”
- Drag “zeta2.html” from file explorer to editing window, and the title bar shows its actual name is still “zeta copy.html”
- Finder shows the file was not renamed, and is still “zeta copy.html”
