Hello VanHWhite, I suggest that you browse across and take a look into the contents of the folder where you have your files, and sort them in filename order. This PC > Windows (C:) > Program Files (x86) and to the folder in which you have the latest e-Sword Resourse Location files. You need to check that you have authorization on your login name to be able to edit filenames in that folder.
Rick Meyers advises that we modify the Permissions of the folder, to
provide full access to the user "
Everyone" who we should provide with full access to all files in that folder.
Check whether there is another file that has already been created with the same filename that you were trying to create in that folder with your attempt to rename one of the existing filenames. You can always append ".old" at the end of an existing filename, to remove a specific file from being picked up next time you run e-Sword, while still being able to go back to restore the filename again if necessary.
Look at the date when the file was last modified, because the access to write to various Topic files with the Topic Editor has been changed in recent updated versions of e-Sword, providing us with access to additional characters with the extensions to the letters as are needed in the non-English alphabet, which are used in other European alphabets.
So if you compare the contents of the
*.topx and the
*.refx files, with similar file names, you could move the
*.topx file to your current
User Files Location, so that you can edit it with your
Topic Notes Editor, and then re-save it in refx format. I see I have
Pink, Arthur W. - A Fourfold Salvation.topx with Date 2009-05-13
and another
Pink, Arthur - A Fourfold Salvation (wlue777).topx dated 2012-07-17. and
Pink, A.W. - a_fourfold_salvation.refx dated 2022-07-22 and another,
a-fourfold-salvation.refx dated 2023-05-19.
So there have been a number of different downloads provided for the content with the same name. Perhaps you cannot change it if the owner is Administrator and you are not accessing the filename as login with the Administrator username access.
Please remember you can tap your pointer into the e-Sword open page on your PC, then tap "
F1" function key to call up
the
e-sword_guide.pdf Please read page 2 to see the difference between the "
.topx" file and the "
.refx" files as from e-Sword for Windows version 10.4.
Let us know your solution to this interesting occurrence.
