Move Active Folder

Move Active Folder

Move the folder containing the currently active file

How to use

1. Open a note in Obsidian.
2. Run the command: Move folder containing current file...
3. Select which folder you want to move (e.g., the direct parent or an ancestor folder).
4. Select the destination folder.

Features

• Contextual Selection: Lists all parent folders of the current file, allowing you to choose exactly what scope to move.
• Validation: Prevents moving a folder into itself or its own subfolders (circular move).
• Safety: Checks for duplicate folder names in the destination before moving.
