Hi all,
The subject line says it all. I just switched to a new T-Mobile LG G4 running 5.1 and I can no longer rename folders with an initial '.' to hide them. (These folders are on an external SD card if that makes any difference.) I have tried two methods, both failed:
(1) Using the pre-installed File Manager app, if I try to rename the file by prefixing a '.' I get a little blue popup message saying 'Invalid name'.
(2) On various web recommendations I just installed ES File Explorer, but cannot seem to find any way to rename ANY file, as nothing I do (including a long press on the filename) does anything that leads to a Rename option. (I can get a popup menu that offers Copy and Move options, but not Rename.) I can't believe any usable file manager does not have a way to rename a file, so I presume I'm doing something stupid, but can't for the life of me figure out what.
What's up with all this? I would prefer to just use the standard File Manager if possible.
Thanks!
