9643,rename should be more eplicit that it allows file move operations,Richard <legalize@…>,Beman Dawes,"The documentation for rename says that it renames the file and then refers to the ISO C web page for rename for details.  That page implies that the new name can be in another directory with the same filename to perform a move file operation, but it would be much more helpful if the boost filesystem documentation stated this explicitly.

On stackoverflow, someone comments that if the move files due to filesystem differences, then you have to do a copy/delete combination anyway.  It seems like if this is real possibility that boost.filesystme.rename should be enhanced to handle that for me so I don't have to remember a three-step operation in order to move files: 1) try rename and if that fails, then 2) copy file, and 3) delete file",Bugs,new,To Be Determined,filesystem,Boost 1.55.0,Problem,,,
