Files: UI for moving multiple files #943

@lidel

Description

@lidel

This may be an unexpected feature, 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

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

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/.
