Man, I'll feel silly but I don't think I am missing anything on the screen.
Is there anyway to simply rename a file with Fileman 2?
Thanks,

Alex,
If I'm correct UNIX doesn't distinguish between move and rename, and I assume that is why fileman only has move.
But couldn't it be a good idea, since so many of the end users of FileMan will be completely non-unix people, to have rename as an option also? And if possible to make that different from move by it only allowing rename/move within the same folder?
I could be interested in letting my users rename but not move the files around to other folders. Hence to make those two different commands would be great.
Don't know if that is possible though...
thanks
