Item5425: Renaming does not take VIEW_TEMPLATE setting into account

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Engine

Situation:

• X topics have a view template TopicView (topic is TopicViewTemplate)
• TopicViewTemplate is renamed to NewTopicViewTemplate
• contents of X topics has become invisible

should the fix be

1. rename needs to change all references
2. VIEW_TEMPLATE should be relaxed to use the default templates if it can't find the right one

or, well both

is this related strongly to Item4463 ??

Apparently more things are at play, since I cannot reproduce the situation above: the topic text won't disappear now. Still it is an annoyance that I need to find all topics that have the old view template set.

parking to Arthur, in case he notices it again

I'm making changes to support rename of the Template name in Set (VIEW|EDIT)_TEMPLATE statements, and in the META equivalents.
