Submitted for your review, comment, and/or revision, the following Wiki article has been updated:

File Actions

Primary Changes:

  1. Complete rewrite of Move and/or Rename Section
  2. Add table of operations
  3. Add screenshots

@peternlewis, the "Move" option has confusing terminology.
Can any of this be corrected?

This option really should be "Move and/or Rename", if you don't want to split it out into three separate variants of this one huge multi-variant Action.

  1. It starts with the popup that shows ONLY "Move"
  2. The Action Name is then set to "Move or Rename"
    • At a minimum this should be "Move and/or Rename"

If we had three separate choices in the popup ("Move", "Rename", "Move and Rename") I think you could offer better error detection, maybe even in the KM Editor, but most of all greatly improved clarity for the end user.

I see a lot of confusion about this Action in the forum.

Well, sadly you'll never see this Jim, but I added explicit Move option and Rename option to the action for the next version. The Move or Rename remains the same behaviour. The Move option is identical but errors if the destination is anything other than an existing directory, and the Rename option is identical but errors if the destination is anything other than a plane file name.
