[bug] poor rename handling by clients/server, ends up overwriting files

[working-name]

Describe:

It's quite frustrating working with Seadrive across multiple computers when it comes to renaming files. If I rename a file on one client, I expect the other clients to pick up on it. Sometimes it doesn't, or if it does it ends up overwriting my newer version file with that laggy client's old file.

It's a bit better in later versions of the clients, but still not quite there yet.
macOS specifically used to keep its own files as duplicates to the renamed files changed on another client, prompting manual cleanup.

Result:

I lose work or end up doing the same thing all the while wondering if I have memory problems.

Expected result:

I expect all seadrive/seaclient to react to file renames and not overwrite files silently.

Info:

Server Version: 11.0.16
Seadrive 3.0.10+ (linux/mac/windows)
Seaclient 9.0.11 (linux/mac/windows)

Your issue may be due to server or client side issue, or combination of both. In many cases it may not be a bug. Without detailed logs from both the client and the server as well as change history of the library, it's hard to solve it, just based on your general description.
