Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products and a computer system, implement and use techniques for preserving referential integrity. A first input receiving component receives a first input selecting a target file within a first directory. A second input receiving component receives a second input selecting all files referenced by the target file. A transfer component automatically performs a moving or copying operation of all referenced files from a first directory to a second directory when a moving or copying operation of the target file is performed.
