Description

When a course file is moved or renamed, could a quick check be made for any course references to the file that would create a broken link or perhpas change or update these references to the new folder/file name or location? Even just a quick list of where broken links might have been created would allow a course teacher to fix them. It seems to happen to generally happen to me when I tweak image or course folder/file names and digging up all the places where I might have referenced the file is rather clumbersome.

I've cloned an issue that was marked as affecting 1.4, but can't see a way to mark the clone as affecting 1.8.x, which it does. Sorry if this is generating tons of mail.

Here's a patch for this issue (I attached it to the clone as well). Would someone please review it and commit if it looks okay?

My institution has been adding this patch for a while now since we consider it important. It appears to do the job nicely and is what the users expect to happen when they move a file in the file resource area. Would be good if this could be added to the 1.9 branch permanently.

Reading Petr's comment on the clone of this issue, I think this won't be fixed in 1.9.
