Changing remote name wiped type of fs

[Zylatis]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I added a new remote and changed the name, which cleared the remote type resulting in a further error.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.50.2

• os/arch: linux/amd64
• go version: go1.13.6

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

B2

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone config edit

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[nextcloud]
account = XXXXX
key = XXXXXXXXXXX

Extra

This is the full output of what happened

Enter new name for "b2-nc" remote.

Hi, welcome to the forum!

@Zylatis

rclone v1.50.2

That's a very old version, please install latest version: Rclone downloads

I ran a quick test on 1.58.0, and did not see this issue.

Ah right, thanks. I installed via apt-get and that's what i got, i assumed it wouldn't be too old, will try the new one.
