 * Hi, it seems that you are up to something good!
 * If you rename a folder for example, xxx_123 or xxx-123 that gets uploaded images
   like ghosts. So it is **_** or **–** in the folder name that causes it. Is this
   normal?

 * In Media Library Plus you are not permitted to rename folders. That is because
   often images in the folders are usually displayed on in posts or pages and if
   the user renames a folder then those images would not longer appear since their
   URLs have become invalid. So any problems caused by renaming a folder are not
   caused by MLP.
 * If you renamed a folder manually, they you will have to delete its images from
   the media library and upload them again in order to update their location in 
   the database. And if you have any of its images in posts or pages you will need
   to change their URL to the proper address.

 * Hi and thanks! **It’s my fault!**
    1: You see the information When you hover 
   over the “Rename” button. I would have used the create-word instead, because 
   that was what I meant when writing this post. 2: But now I think I know the thought
   that went wrong. I changed a character via FTP and made some movements of files
   to another folder using FTP. Thus, it became ghost, which at the time led me 
   to write the post.
 * Your answers and little brain rest, followed by further tests with a completely
   different line of thought regarding the function, shows that it works without
   problems even with characters as spaces.
 * So **thank you so much**, this is a long awaited addition for us who are accustomed
   to the folder tree view.
