Rename or Move F6, Shift + F6
This command allows you to rename files and directories, or
to moves files and subdirectories to other directories or
disk drives. There are three ways you can use this command:
. You can rename or move the file or subdirectory under
the cursor bar in a file panel, or you can rename a
directory in a tree panel.
. You can rename or move a group of files and
directories that you've marked with the Ins key or
Select group, Unselect group and Invert group.
. You can type in the name of the file to rename or
move (or a group of files if you use DOS wildcard
characters). Press Shift+F6 or hold down Shift when
you select Rename or move from the Files menu.
Pressing F6 (or selecting Rename or move) brings up a dialog
box like:
+-------------------- Rename --------------------+
| Rename or move "somefile.ext" to |
| _ |
-------------------------------------------------|
| [ Move ] [ F10 - Tree ] [ Cancel ] |
+------------------------------------------------+
There are three ways you can select where to move the file(s)
to:
. Type the name of the directory where you want to move
the file or directory to (or the name of a new file
if you're renaming a file).
. Press F10 to bring up a pop-up directory tree of the
current disk and select a directory from this tree.
. Set up the Commander so there are two file panels,
with the inactive panel showing the directory to
which you want to move the files.
Canceling Rename or Move:
Press Esc at any time to stop renaming or moving
files and directories.
Overwriting Files:
You'll be asked for confirmation before existing
files are overwritten.
Note: This command deletes the treeinfo.ncd file when you
rename or move directories.
