Bug: Newly created Libraries cannot be edited until app restarts #16860

Description

  • When creating a new Library folder, all Properties are NOT saved until Files App is restarted.
  • When Files App is restarted, returning to the new Library folder > Properties, its location is automatically set to Documents (which is why it appears as Documents when pinned to Sidebar before the restart).
  • You will have to ADD a new location, set it to Default, THEN you can delete the Documents location.
    NOTE: Pinned items are treated as standard folders that cannot be edited with different Properties compared to Library folders.
  • Remove the old pinned item (if pinned), then Pin to Sidebar again to apply the new Library changes.

Additional Bug

  • It cannot be shown, but Right-Click > Properties folders will many times result in the Properties window being behind the main window. Sometimes the window refuses to be in focus and automatically force itself in the background.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Right-Click Libraries on the Sidebar, select + Create new library.
  2. Right-Click new Library folder > Properties > Library tab (left panel) > assign it a location > Save.
  3. Return to its Properties > check Library tab, observe location NOT saved.
  4. Right-Click Library folder > Pin to Sidebar > observe item as Documents.
  5. Right-Click that duplicate pinned Documents > Properties > observe options are different.
  6. Restart Files App > return to Libraries.
  7. Right-Click new Library folder > Properties > Library tab > observe auto-assigned location to Documents.
  8. Add new location > set new location to Default > delete Documents location > Save.
    Return to Properties to confirm the changes have been saved.
  9. Delete old pinned duplicate Documents item on Sidebar > Pin the updated Library folder to Sidebar again.
  10. Right-Click the new pinned item > Properties > observe options are different.
    Editing the Properties from the pinned item will NOT save, no matter what
