# Move Active Folder

Move the folder containing the currently active file

![demo](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5b8ec07b-a1e0-47af-a559-2e26ee030212)

## How to use

1. Open a note in Obsidian.
2. Run the command: **`Move folder containing current file...`**
3. Select which folder you want to move (e.g., the direct parent or an ancestor folder).
4. Select the destination folder.

## Features

- **Contextual Selection**: Lists all parent folders of the current file, allowing you to choose exactly what scope to move.
- **Validation**: Prevents moving a folder into itself or its own subfolders (circular move).
- **Safety**: Checks for duplicate folder names in the destination before moving.
