Moving/Renaming Resources in the Project View

To move a file or a directory, drag and drop it to the new location in the tree structure from the Project view. You can also use the usual Cut, Copy, and Paste actions or right click the file or directory and select the Refactoring > Move resource... action from its contextual menu. Oxygen XML Editor presents a Move resource dialog with the following fields available:

• Destination - presents the path to the current location of the resource you want to move and gives you the option to introduce a new location.
• New name - presents the current name of the moved resource and gives you the option to change it.
• Update references of the moved resource(s) - enable this option to update the references to the resource you are moving, in accordance with the new location and name.

To quickly rename a file or a directory, use the in-place editing either by pressing F2 or by selecting Rename from the contextual menu of the resource. You can also right click a file or a directory and select the Refactoring > Rename resource action from its contextual menu. Oxygen XML Editor presents the Rename dialog in case you used in-place editing. The Rename resource dialog is presented if you used the refactoring actions. The following fields are available:

• New name - presents the current name of the edited resource and allows you to modify it.
• Update references of the renamed resource - enable this option to update the references to the resource you are renaming.
• Scope - specifies the scope of the rename operation.
