Moving and renaming files

# Moving and renaming files and folders

In the HTML Utilities menu there are three functions to move and rename files and folders and automatically update all links in the files.

Move Files... lets you move a set of files from one folder to another within a home page folder or within an include folder.

When moving files you are

- First asked to select the folder which contains the files you want to move.
- Then you are asked to select the files you want to move from this folder.
- And finally you are asked to select the destination folder.

Rename File... lets you rename and move a single file within a home page folder or within an include folder.

Rename Folder... lets you rename and move a folder within a home page folder or within an include folder.

When renaming a file or folder you are

- First asked to select the file or folder to rename and move.
- Then you are asked to select a new name and its destination folder.

Alpha then makes the move and then asks you if you want to update all links (this is the whole point of this function, so a 'yes' should be appropriate, but it gives you a chance to abort the update if you have moved the wrong files).

Alpha now updates all HTML links, HREF, SRC, etc. as well as CSS links url("...") and all include links <!-- #INCLUDE ... --> to make sure that they point at the same files as before. This update is done in all files both in the home page folder and the include folder.

Updating links may take a little while if you have very many files but should in most cases be a lot faster than to make the changes manually.
