Add an option to move a project #9

Closed tukusejssirs closed 1 year ago

tukusejssirs commented 2 years ago

We already have an option to rename a project (change its name only), we I recently wanted to tidy up my projects, so I wanted to move a project from one folder to another, e.g. moving a project from proj1/proj1/proj1.sublime-{project,workspace} to company/proj1/proj1.sublime-{project,workspace}.

I think this operation should be separate from renaming a project (unlike mv command in terminal).

As a workaround, I was able to make it work by simply moving the project folder to a new place (e.g. mv proj1/proj1 company) and run Refresh Projects command.

Are you talking about projects imported using the Import Project command or about project files in the default project path PATH/TO/Packages/Users/Projects ? For projects in the default path, they should not have to be moved by hand as renaming a project is equivalent to moving these files. For projects with .sublime-project and .sublime-workspace files stored directly in the development directories and imported through Import Project, I feel like this is not the role of this plugin to move the whole directory to another location. ProjectManager should only deal with sublime files, and should not modify other files or directories as it could easily delete or alter important files if not careful.

I agree that right now moving a folder containing a sublime project is not very practical, but I don't see a way to achieve it without having to modify regular files, so I won't get into that. I might add a function to update paths of projects that the plugin can't find anymore to simplify the process though.
