Folder Rename Action
The Folder Rename Action node renames an existing folder without changing its location.
Only the folder name is modified; the directory remains in the same parent path. The operation is performed on the host system where the stream is executed (client or server).
Input Parameters
Folder Path Full path and current name of the folder that should be renamed.
New Folder Name New folder name without a path. The folder will remain in the same directory.
Behavior
Renames a single folder
Does not move the folder to another directory
Keeps all contained files and subfolders unchanged
Requires the source folder to exist
Supports asynchronous execution
Typical Use Cases
standardizing project directory names
applying naming conventions after ingest
renaming delivery packages
correcting automatically generated folder names
Important Notes
The directory location cannot be changed with this node (use Folder Move Action instead)
If a folder with the new name already exists in the same directory, the node will fail
The contents of the folder are not modified
Practical Tip
Use this node when only the naming convention needs to change. If the folder must also be relocated, combine this node with the Folder Move Action or move the folder directly.
