In 2.37 and earlier when I renamed files using the tag-\>filename option the renamed files where removed from the file list. They would only be re-added if I rescanned the folder. After upgrading to 2.38 this has not happened an I have been unable to find an option to enable it again.
Any ideas on how this can be enabled again anyone? I could revert back to 2.37 but I like my new Tak files.

Just press the [Del] key to remove the renamed files from the file list. There is no hidden option to enable the previous behaviour.
Kind regards,
Florian

Thanks, I guess it does make sense for the files to stay.
