This new little feature, mone on rename, sounds like a really cool thing for sure

I got a few problems with it though

- Trying to use "V:\toto.jpg" as destination fails for me : "Cannot rename toto: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
Doing so from a file on drive V: (through from elsewhere doesn't change anything) and no, there's no V:\toto.jpg already there. (which sometimes gets that same error and not the "there's already a file with that name" one)

- Sometimes I get this error : "Cannot rename toto: You cannot specify a different folder or disk when you rename a file or folder."
Seems to be when folder creation is required with relative syntax. (eg: ..\new\file.ext)

I can confirm this...just tried it based on your post...I can create a folder\file as a child of current or a file in parent of current, but not as a sibling folder\file to current...

If one has:
C:\yyyy\zzz.txt
By using "a\bbb.txt", it gets me "C:\yyyy\a\bbb.txt" as it should
By using "..\bbb.txt", it gets me "C:\bbb.txt" - also correct
But using "..\a\bbb.txt" gets err and not "C:\a\bbb.txt"

(I think/hope I've given correct example..)

Seems to be working all fine now, one little thing though : when specifying a new path\name that already exists, the error message isn't really clear: "Cannot rename toto: You cannot specify a different folder or disk when you rename a file or folder."

Something like what we get when it's on the same folder might be better, such as "Cannot rename toto: A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different file name."

Okay, thanks.

Okay, so this little feature is really cool! So much that I wish it would work on other places, namely "Copy Here As". So that I could here hit Ctrl+S and not only copy to another place but also rename a file in one go!
