Description

I have a markdown file open in MacDown Version 0.7.3 (1008.4). The MD file is in a writable folder. When I run the Move To... command I get the attached error panel with the message: "Cannot display the move panel. The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ViewBridge error 14.)".

The expected behavior would be for MacDown to open a file browser to select the target folder and then move the file to that folder.

Research direction

Reproduce the Move To... command in MacDown 0.7.3 on macOS and inspect the entry point for the file-moving operation; the issue names no source file or test. Trace the ViewBridge error and verify that the command opens a folder-selection browser and moves the Markdown file to the chosen folder.
