Scott Bauer has submitted a PR that extends the existing workspace "Rename" context menu item to show the full path of the file or directory <https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable/pull/2234>. Thanks Scott!
By default only the filename is selected but any portion of the path can be modified (tho non-existent directories are not created). It'd be great for people to test the changes and offer any feedback they have. Let me know here or in the Gitter room <http://gitter.im/LightTable/LightTable> if you need any help building the source code to test the PR's changes. Some questions I'd like to resolve based on feedback of others that currently use the rename feature and would like a move file/directory feature in the workspace sidebar: 1. Are the changes in this PR fine as a replacement for the existing "Rename" feature? Or should the new UI require an option to be set (i.e. in *user.behaviors*)? 2. How important or useful is it that the new rename/move feature creating directories that don't exist that are in the new path you enter? 3. Are there any changes that should be made to the UI for the new rename/move? 4. Should the name of the menu item be changed to reflect the features new semantics? The feature and its UI were inspired by the equivalent feature in the Atom editor; here's a screenshot of it in Atom: <https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2945386/17610894/938b5cf4-6010-11e6-8d53-ff620c757810.png> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Light Table Discussion" group.
