Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When you rename or delete a file in the media manager, improved UX would include a prompt to remind the user that

  • Renaming the file will break all existing links to the file with the current filename (Continue / Cancel)
  • Deleting the file will break all existing links to the file being deleted, as well as not being undoable (Continue / Cancel)

Describe the solution you'd like

For 4.0, add prompts when you go to rename or delete a file in the media manager, (similar to what JCE File Browser prompts with on Renaming a file, but not on deleting a file).

For 4.1, this is something also covered in the J4 Media Manager Roadmap that would be tied into the Database Abstraction layer, which would then separate the media manager table from the filesystem (so you're then not renaming the file, you're adjusting the listing for the file).

This should be independend from the method of the file system, I think. The Roadmap from the media manager team is not the leading one currently (but still have a lot of good stuff which should be taken over).

Why not have it peruse the db and rename the files there @ the same time.
