Rename while in project panel

[Rob Claisse]

Am I missing some thing obvious but I can see how to rename a file in
the project panel? I'd expect to down click on a file and it allow you
to rename it or atleast a option when you right click but can see
anything. Also a pain to have to keep going back to the finder.

Also is it possible to drag files and move then between folders in the
Project panel? It looks it should work but nothing gets moved?

Thanks

I can't see it either. Anyone have any clues?

Hey Rob,

Some of your pain is pretty easily diminished. Run this script via keyboard shortcut from the BBEdit Scripts Menu to open a dialog for renaming the file of the front text window. Change the name, and it will rename the file in the Finder. You'll see this change reflected in the project file browser.

set newDocFileName to text returned of ¬

Hi Chris thanks for posting that. Very helpful. The only thing it
doesn't do is rename the file reference in the Project window.

So if I'm editing foo.html and I rename it with your script to new-
foo.html the file name changes (I can see it in Finder and at the top
of the BBEdit document) but the reference on the left stays as
foo.html

I've been poking around to see if that is automatable via the script
but I don't see that its possible.

I'm seeing that renaming using that script does change the filename in the Project tab, and everywhere else I could see in BBEdit.

I have upgraded to the 10.0.1 (3063) build, if that makes a difference.
