Rename and copy/move and more file metadata support.

[abose]

Hi,

Rename, copy and move are some of the basic functions on a file system. Since we already have permissions on read-write APIs, this is a limiting omission.

Use case: I am part of the phoenix Editor open-source project to build browser native editors. Phoenix is still in very alpha and we were integrating fs access APIs. But not having rename and move/copy options brings in file metadata(date, access) changes that are not intended with a simple rename.

Also, it would help if we have more file metadata access like atime, ctime and mtime when available for folders as well.

Thanks,
Arun.

#101 tracks exposing more metadata, #64 and #65 track rename/move. I agree that these are all features that we should consider exposing.

This issue has been porter to the new spec: whatwg/fs#12
