Rename files-Question

[Tvirin]

When the name of the encrypted file is changed from file manager, it is no longer displayed in the application. This can change someone and I lose access to the files.

Is there a way to reopen the file with the changed name?

*Basically this is happening on android, here I was referred by a dev from DroidFS but I think it's the same for gocryptfs

Yes you can mount with option -badname '*'. Then the renamed files will be showed as xyz.GOCRYPTFS_BAD_NAME.

However, I would advise to not mess with the encrypted files in the file manager.
