Files: UI for moving multiple files

[lidel]

This may be an unexpected feature, but one can move file by changing name to include path, for example to move a file one folder higher:

I was about to suggest renaming the label from "Rename" to "Move/Rename", but unfortunately "Rename" is disabled when more than one file is selected:

TL;DR

We seem to be missing UI for "moving multiple files": right now only way to do it is via repeated drag&drop. One per each dir level, which makes it extremely painful if you want move /from/this/deep/dir/ to /some/other/one/.

Having Move/Rename in the same button will be confusing in my opinion, I'd prefer having a separate Move button that could be used while selecting multiple files/folders and would only accept valid paths.

Not sure if this is a priority, although surely it's a nice to have 👍

Not a priority aright now, but it will get important when we start adding more and more things to MFS from various GUIs.

Some things in the pipeline:

• we will all uploads from IPFS Companion (https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/issues/635, https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/issues/415)
• or files added via native File Manager integrations of IPFS Desktop (https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop/pull/798)

First iteration could just accept and validate paths, but we probably need a smart realtime path completion (like this) to make it fast and useful enough for everyday use.

Move to different folder is very important for me, I would like to move stuff uploaded by browser extension around easily.
