Nextcloud version : 13 Operating system and version : Official docker image Apache or nginx version : apache 2 PHP version: 7.1 Hello ! I realized that file IDs change when moving files from one folder to an other. I dug into the GH repository and thought this would have been fixed by this PR : [https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/4524/commits](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/4524/commits), but it does not seem to be the case. Do I miss something ? Was it rolled back ? Additionnally, is there any mean (maybe through a plugin ?) to keep consistent IDs also when sharing files between different users ? Thanks ! Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: N Steps to replicate it: 1. from the web interface, create a file, click on it to see its ID on the address bar 2. move it to a folder 3. open the folder, then click the file again to see its ID. It’s different than the one observed in step 1. ---
