By renaming a technique, do you mean changing it's file name ? Or changing the value of <TECHNIQUE name="XXXX"> in the metadata.xml file ?

I'm not sure about only the rename of <TECHNIQUE name="XXX"> but renaming all (and then, "moving" the directory), the Rule will be in error instead of just skipping the not functionnal Directive.

That is the expected behavior, because we don't want to silently have rule whose directive are no more here, we want it to be very visible.
For example, if we have a "Base security for the company" technique, we certainly don't want that rule having it continu to work has nothing happened if someone deleted the technique.

Ok, seems logic. The name of the Technique should be modified into the metadata.xml file, not onthe filesystem...
I've tested to rename into metadata.xml and the behavior seems logic:- The name displayed into Rudde WebUI is the name from the latest version of the Technique.
- In the details of a Directive, the name correspond to the name of the Version its Technique.
I suppose then we can reject this bug. Do you agree ?
