I was trying to create empty file called .htaccess and this error came up Cannot rename file attributes.xml~ in C:\Users\Naz\.netbeans\dev\var to attributes.xml. New file exists: false. Rename result: false. Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201012110001) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_20 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 16.3-b01
Reassign to platform , feel free to reassign ...
Having the same issue, but in my case it occured when trying to create a new directory. The directory was created, but the dialog says: Cannot rename file attributes.xml~ in C:\Users\maghiel\.netbeans\7.0\var to attributes.x with the next and finish buttons disabled. I'll attach a screenshot. I'll also update the bug title to be more specific.
