Description | Use the revMoveFolder function to move a folder into another
folder.
The revMoveFolder command moves the entire folder, including all
files, subfolders, and their contents. The folder
is removed from its original location and apppears only in the new
location.
Note: When included in a standalone application, the
Common library is implemented as a hidden group and made available
when the group receives its first openBackground message. During the
first part of the application's startup process, before
this message is sent, the revMoveFolder command is not yet
available. This may affect attempts to use this command in
startup, preOpenStack, openStack, or preOpenCard
handlers in the main stack. Once the application has
finished starting up, the library is available and the
revMoveFolder command can be used in any handler.
