 * I wanted to rename folders. Then none of the photos in folder weren’t displayed.
   Then I renamed back folders and everything was fine except one folder which was
   first created. When I try to rename, it says „File doesn’t exist“. No error in
   log is diplayed.

 * Dear [@user456](https://wordpress.org/support/users/user456/),
 * Thanks for the report.
 * Did you rename the folders via FTP?
 * Do you still have that one folder that was created first?
    Are there any images
   in that folder you can access from the gallery plugin?
 * Sincerely,

 * I renamed it via plugin interface and that error happened. I renamed it back 
   also via plugin interface, and as I mentioned it worked most of the folders except
   for the first one I created.
 * That folder which still had error when I named it back was the first created.
   But now I solved this problem by just uploading random picture in that folder
   and then deleting folder because I couldn’t delete it and creating a new folder
   and uploading those pictures again.
 * Those images were also broken in that folder, they weren’t displayed in the folders.
 * I guess my problem is solved. But it would be great if I could rename folders
   without error, because when I click folder one time, full folder name is not 
   displayed, I have to click folder twice (go inside the folder) just to see full
   folder name, that’s why I wanted to rename it.
    And also it would be great to
   delete empty folders without uploading random picture just to delete it.
