 A search bar let's you search for specific files or extensions across the entire spectrum of the PMA.core server (this feature is mainly useful during startup; search a multi-terabyte repository this way in real-time is not very practical, and we've developed [[https://www.pathomation.com/products|other products]] to facilitate this latter use case more efficiently).

-==== Directory view (middle panel) ====

+Renaming sub directories can be tricky: In a cloud context, unfortunately, oftentimes a rename/move function comes down to subsesequent copy/delete operations. This means that renaming empty directories is pretty much a straightforward operation, but renaming a complex structure can take a while to process.
