Description
Originally submitted to Google Code by @mkorpela on 12 Apr 2011
Moving file from a directory to another would be very useful when restructuring large test data sets.
This should also update relative resource/library imports.
Example:
- User is restructuring test suites
- He creates a new subdirectory (missing feature)
- He takes a file in the current directory and moves it to the subdirectory
=> RIDE updates file imports in the file
=> RIDE updates others that import the moved file

Research direction
Start by locating RIDE's file-move handling and the code that resolves relative resource and library imports. Trace how a moved file and files importing it are represented, then define tests covering the directory move, the moved file's imports, and references from other files. Done means moving a file into a new subdirectory updates all affected relative imports.
