Johannes meant the darktable binary's parameter (see darktable --help).

Moving away an open file under a running program's butt is almost
always a bad idea (unless you know exactly what you're doing). Further
I/O only works as desired if the file is moved on the same device (but
this property should be transparent to the user..), otherwise mv
simply uses cp under the hood.

If changing the library name from within DT should be possible, then I
guess the only sane option is to
a) remember the new library name, and
b) immediately inform the user that a restart is required in order for
changes to be in effect, with an option of restarting dt immediately.
