Move Active Folder

Move the folder containing the currently active file

demo

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.
