show quickpick menu for file move instead of using text input

[ctf0]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• not really but atm the move file is an input based "where u type the path u want to move the file to" not a quick picker item "where u get a quick picker menu to choose from the new path"

Describe the solution you'd like

• something similar to this would be very helpful REF: file-bunny

thank you so much for this update, is it possible to make the input path start from the file directory ? so its easier to find where the user want to move the file ?

[sleistner]

how about moving and preselect that folder to the very top below workspace root?

ok, also would it be possible to represent the directories as menu & sub menus, instead of the current ?

[sleistner]

could you provide an example?

could you provide an example?

like the gif at the top, so instead of having something like src\nested\path (the current), you only see src and when entered you then only see the directories under it.

@ctf0 I created a pre release version, have a look and let me know what you think.

Changes:

• Move File opens a directory selector at the directory of the open editor file.
• A parent folder selector is shown If the open editor file has parent folders up to the workspace folder.

many thanks for your work & quick response, i installed it and here are the notes so far

• the current folder menu item can be moved to the menu input path if possible, or moved all togeather as this is were the menu will open/be anyway

• when going to the parent folder, we still have the folders seperator ex.@types/vscode which is kinda confusing.

• atm we cant navigate into a folder, pressing enter will chose the folder as destination, so to get around that we can have a new menu item of something like move file here and use enter as a folder navigator instead.

• workspace root menu item not sure what is it for, is it like a shortcut to quickly move item to the project root ? if the user dont need, can we have an option to hide it ?
