Description Dave Dyer CLA 2022-01-10 14:48:35 EST
I used refactor/rename to change a package name.  The rename ran smoothly,
but an unrelated directory inside the hierarchy was deleted.  I mean completely
disappeared; I had to recover it from backups.

The source looked like this

drwxr-xr-x   4 ddyer Administrators   4096 Jan  9 18:31 hires images

drwxr-xr-x   3 ddyer Administrators   4096 Jul 10  2021 sounds

The "hires images" directory is excluded from the project.  In the
renamed package, there was no "hires images" directory, and the
original directory was deleted.  hires images had vanished.

I would have expected a skeleton of the original directory to remain
because not all files were moved to the new directory.

Moving to JDT for investigation.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
