OneDrive treats a Project file (MPP) rename as a delete and create activity
Hi all, I renamed an MPP file in Windows 11 via File Explorer and I was surprised to see the following activity on SharePoint: https://mike.getsharex.com/2022/08/20220826_msedge_K6DhmVizJI.png ...
I recommend discussing this on a Project forum, as it's a relatively niche product. (Or SharePoint even as this does not relate directly to OfB).
Note also that SharePoint treats move operations from site to site as delete and recreate actions, so there is precedence for some of this.

Mike Williams from my software engineering experience, I can confidently say that it is OfB using the SharePoint file delete/create calls instead of using the rename calls. Therefore, SharePoint misinterprets the file operation performed by the user and incorrectly populates the Activity. It is not SharePoint Online fault.
