This is way too complicated. I think we should just revive <rename> or modify <move> to be able to say: <move from="oldName" toDir="newDir" /> <move from="oldName" to="newName" /> and these are plain renames. If the names correspond to different file systems and cannot be renamed, the task should just fail (as does the UNIX command). The use of filesets should be seen more like an advanced feature than anything else. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity .... Jose Alberto
