I haven't tried a link to an application. In my case:
Right-click on Desktop, Create New --> Folder. Name the folder "foo". Click on foo, opens File Manager in foo directory. Close that. Right-click on foo, Rename. "bar" Click on bar... Error. (After reboot, clicking on bar works.)
Same thing happens with Create New --> Text File.
This condition exists in my login and my wife's login, since I'm not sure when.
It sounds like the file manager doesn't refresh its list of files in the current directory after your rename.
What if you force a refresh. Say leave the FM and reenter. Or switch to several directories and return to the one containing "bar". Or create another file/directory. Gee, I wonder if you could get two "bar" files by creating another one while the FM doesn't acknowledge the first one.
