MB: could you explain the "pending" problem in more detail.
Carl: do you have the latest code? all the applets now have change_event_handler/rename procs. to rename things that they created like the default file storage folder. but there will be things that the applets should not be able to rename, such as the content of custom portlets. on my system, the "groups" portlet, fs, forums, seem to be working as expected. but there are a couple of issues:
the major one is that the URL is not changed yet, so any code that
relies on the URL to display the name (breadcrumbs, i think) will show the old name. It may not be too difficult to move around site-nodes in this way, but i haven't gotten to trying it out.
If you are updated to the latest code, it would be helpful if you made a list of all the places you see the renaming not occuring and append it to the existing ticket.
