[1.42] Files Acting Strangely

Hello,

I have issues with saving files and renaming folders.

First, I tried to changed capitalization of the folder "core" to "Core", which exists. It ended as a program that never ended. At the end, I had to change the files because it was changed to a different ID, and losing the label, which I recovered, but not the ID. (I had to restart about two times in the process.)

Next, I tried "adding" to the startup file I have on my computer (it's not in rom). It took a long time to save, ending in the error "Failed to save in 'startup'". It again ended in a never-ending program in "edit" instead of "move", and I had to restart again. After I looked at the startup folder again, I found that only a snippet of it is there; there is only have of what it was before I started modifying it in the first place!

Then, I decided that I should abandon my world to create a new one. This also failed, as it took about ten seconds to delete it, failing every time.

Here's some information in case you need it:
- Minecraft Version 1.42
- Only Forge and ComputerCraft is installed.
- This happened on a Mining Turtle.
- I only messed with the save file when this started happening, and limited only to the computer folder.

In other words, you moved a file into itself and broke the filesystem? Interesting.

All I can think of is that you have lots and lots of files in your Computer folder. Do you?

Actually, yes. I guess I should have named it something else before I changed the capitalization.

I made a batch file that goes to move every three-or-so folders to someplace else and delete them. It worked, but I lost my world in the process.

I wonder why that happens even if the capitalization is changed…

Basically it checks the size of all files and folders - with a lot, this can take some time. I do plan on getting a better solution to that at some point.
