Move file automatically between folders — file_rename

file_rename_auto() automatically renames your file to a better name while keeping the same folder structure
file_move_dir_auto() automatically moves your file while keeping the same file name
file_copy_auto() automatically copies your file while keeping the same file name (Useful to copy read-only files).

Usage

file_rename_auto(new_name, old_file = .Last.value)

file_move_dir_auto(new_dir, old_file = .Last.value)

file_copy_auto(new_dir, old_file = .Last.value, overwrite = FALSE)

Arguments

new_name, new_dir: New directory or file name (without extension)
old_file: The old file name
overwrite: Overwrite files if they exist. If this is FALSE and the file exists an error will be thrown.

Value

The new full path name, invisibly, allowing you to call the functions another time.

Advantages

Instead of calling fs::file_move("path/to/dir/file.R", "path/to/dir/new-file.R"), you can just call file_rename_auto("new-file", "path/to/dir/file.R")

Instead of calling fs::file_move("path/to/dir/file.R", "path/to/new-dir/file.R"), you can just call file_move_auto("new-dir", "path/to/dir/file.R")

If the functions are used in conjunction with file_move_temp_auto(),
