Re: Renaming files in Xcode: Where are my gigaflops?

Something like this should be filed as a bugreport at bugreport.apple.com. I have actually even gone ahead trying to reproduce the issue, and could not.

It's a known and common problem. I can reproduce it. Based on what Chris said is going on when it happens it sounds like the degree to which you'll notice it may be dependent on the number of files you have in the project.


When filing the bugreport, a sample will be helpful.

Comments like "a Macintosh LC is faster than that" are not helpful.

Sure they are. They help vent frustration. ;-) I find it especially frustrating to deal with problems that manifest themselves consistently when performing routine actions, and this one does for me and at least some other people. Maybe we have more files in our projects than those who don't see this or there's another factor that causes some people to see this and not others. In any case, if you see something like this consistently the natural assumption is that they aren't testing things very thoroughly before they give them to us to use. I don't know how valid that assumption is, but it's easy to feel that way when do something this basic and you consistently see a problem. I have a lot more tolerance for bugs that only manifest themselves under extremely rare or unusual circumstances than I do for those I can reproduce as easily as I can this one. That's why I've always been so frustrated with Interface Builder. Back when I was using it extensively (10.3 days) I encountered a laundry list of bugs that I could reproduce consistently doing pretty basic stuff.


FWIW, I haven't renamed anything from within the project window lately, but I seem to recall that another workaround is to put the name into editing mode and then not do anything for a few seconds, or some such thing you'd think would have no effect.
