Description

This may be an [unexpected feature](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVnLkRxWWv2xiPKeQy6re1zCepzX7YXUiq5fESkd1j8bC/bug_or_feature.jpg), but one can move file by changing name to include path, for example to move a file one folder higher:

> ![moving-1-file-2019-01-18--20-26-15](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/157609/51408602-92c8ff80-1b5f-11e9-9f51-2b91f3c492da.png)

I was about to suggest renaming the label from "Rename" to "Move/Rename", but unfortunately "Rename" is disabled when more than one file is selected:

> ![2019-01-18--20-30-09](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/157609/51408731-0c60ed80-1b60-11e9-928d-6a04bf9a1240.png)

### TL;DR

We seem to be missing UI for "moving multiple files": right now only way to do it is via repeated drag&drop. One per each dir level, which makes it extremely painful if you want move /from/this/deep/dir/ to /some/other/one/.
