Is there a function to rename a directory. I see nothing in fileutils or Lazfileutils.
Thanks

A shot in the dark but, have you tried whether any of the
RenameFile()
or
RenameFileUTF8()
functions work if you pass them a directory name?

This works for me in FreeBSD and macOS and Windows 10:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
program
renamedir
;
uses
sysutils
;
begin
if
(
renamefile
(
'testdir1'
,
'testdir2'
)
)
then
WriteLn
(
'Rename succeeded!'
)
else
WriteLn
(
'Rename failed!'
)
;
end
.
