Move files with intellisense

[sir-marc]

• VSCode Version: 1.8.0
• OS Version: Windows 7

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Move a File into an other folder in project

Is there a way of moving files without having to update dozens of files afterwards manually?
If i rename a file, the editor opens all files linked to that file with a proposed change. Is this possible for moving files, too? microsoft/vscode-tips-and-tricks#34

May I know what kind of project are you using (Javascript, typescript.. ?).. I think renaming a file functionality is done by extension.. can you please also let us know if you have any such extensions. Thanks.

I'm working with typescript 2.1.4.
Renaming of files works fine (without extensions). My Question was, if this funcionality also works for moving files.

@sir-marc I wonder why renaming of files behavior is not in built. I do not see any associated files opens during file rename. Reason I am asking was we do not support this and if it is coming from an Extension you need to ask the extension author about the functionality.

Renaming files works fine.
The problem is in moving files. Not renaming them.
I dont use any extensions for either of those.
If I rename a file with f2, it opens all referencing files and changes the import statement and waits for me to save it.
But if i move the file, nothing happens. I would expect to also open all referencing files with a suggested change in the import statement.

@sir-marc As I said, we do not support renaming of files by opening all referencing files and changing import statement is not in built behavior. Can you please open Extensions view and show us what extensions are installed and running?

[sir-marc]

strange, this works for me just fine. Anyway: my extensions:
Debugger for chrome
Material Theme
TortoiseSVN
TSLint
Typescript Importer (for auto suggesting imports while typing)
vscode-icons

[sir-marc]

oh I think i had something wrong in my mind. It's obviously not working. Stupid me.
Nevertheless those two features would be handy while developing typescript (or other typed languages)

Can you please disable all extension using the following command and reload VS Code and retry renaming the file.

I suspect this behavior is coming from one of the installed extensions (may be Typescript importer).

Closing since I suspect this is caused by an extension.

@sir-marc, please try disabling extensions and let us know if you still see any issues.

Automatically updating import paths when a file is moved is tracked by #19439

Thanks

it's not an issue, it's a enhancement request :)
It would be nice, if typescript would recognize when I rename a file or when I move it around
