Triggering a Workfow on a Folder Name Change??

Workflow

So I'm trying to figure out a way to trigger a workflow by a Folder Name change? Right now I'm using the following conditions:

My concern is that I can't be specific with the "Entry Change" being a "Folder Name" (unless I'm missing something)? I don't want the workflow running everytime a new document is stored in that folder as I would assume that would trigger the workflow since the document count of that folder is changing. Any thoughts? Perhaps I'm overcomplicating this.

Due to how rename actions are handled in the back-end in the Laserfiche and Workflow servers, it is not possible to single out rename events in the starting rules.

I havent tried this, but you may be able to add in a group and have it contain the condition "Entry Changes do not include -------------"

You would set it for every option available. This would limit it to not starting for the majority of cases.

The other option is to have a workflow initiate that starts whenever a new document is created. It applies a secured metadata field with the name. Whenever a change happens, it checks for if the current name and that field are the same. if they are not, then continue on to your workflow process.
