Description

When moving a file from one directory to a directory with active notification, it is noted as "file is renamed" which is quite confusing for users.
There should be a new trigger "File moved". The existing Triggers "File created" or "File copied" aren't working, only the "File renamed" is.

Research direction

Start by tracing the notification flow for moving a file between directories with an active notification. Confirm why the move is reported as a rename and why the existing created or copied triggers do not fire; done means a distinct “File moved” trigger produces the expected notification.
