Resource synchronize problem [message #331879]

Hello,

If i rename a file in an eclipse project outside the workspace then i am
not getting MOVED_FROM or MOVED_TO flags from ResourceDelta.

Rather eclipse platfrom sends ADD of New file (with new name) and DELETE
of old file.

Do i need to implement any extension point to provide my own
implementation of computing change deltas for IResources (files, folder)
while synchronizing workspace file with local file system.

Thanks

To make it clearer, I am renaming the file not from eclipse but outside
eclipse directly from file system

Don't do that! :-P Files don't have identity. Well, maybe they have
inodes on linux, I don't know if that would help. But generally they
don't have identity so there is no way for Eclipse to know you didn't
delete the file and create a new file. The user might have even done a
copy, followed by a delete to achieve their desired affect, so you're
not going to be able to rely on MOVE information if you aren't using the
Eclipse APIs to move the files.
