File rename
InDesign 13.0 running Mac OX 10.12.6
If and INDD file is renamed in the Finder when it's open in InDesign, saving the file will cause an error dialog to appear saying "Changes cannot be save as InDesign can no longer access the '[filepath:newfilename]' file. Place the file in the original location and try again." This error message appears whether trying to do a simple save or even Save As.
This error appears even though both the window header and the file name in the error message both reflect the changed (not the original) file name.
Unless file is restored to original file name, there is no way to save changes.
Being able to rename files from the Finder while the files are still open in InDesign is a feature that InDesign has supported for years.

Hi, are there any updates on this bug? I am also getting this error when renaming. This only happens with InDesign and hasn't happened with Photoshop or other Adobe apps.
Thanks for all the work you do behind the scenes :)

I have notice this same bug arise. I am used to being able to rename files in Finder while they are open with no problems.
