Hi,

so although obviously IMCE Rename does it job really well with files (which I'm really grateful for, thank you so much!!!), I was wondering if you could possibly create a module for moving files as well? I'd do it myself if I was a better coder (or understood js for that matter). And I might be wrong, but it seems the functionality would be similar to IMCE Rename, right?

I'll add this to the todo list. No guarantees on when I'll get a chance to look at this though.

I understand, nonetheless thank you for considering this feature request.

It's already possible to move files and folders in version 7.7 because the rename process uses file_move(). So you may consider using this newer version if possible.

So for example you want to move file test.txt to its parent dir:
../test.txt

If you want to move folder3 into folder 1:

folder1/folder2/folder3
change to: folder1/folder3

Its not user friendly but works.

Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 7.x-1.2
Priority: Normal » Critical

This does break permissions as you can move files into directions you shouldn't be writing in. At least in the version that I was using. So i'm marking this as critical as it is a security issue.
