I've just realized that whish 234375 is highly related to the renaming feature. Indeed, renaming an entry is just a particular case of moving an entry (i.e. when the destination directory is equal to the source directory). So, I'd better to generalize the renaming feature into a *move* feature. This would require a filemanager-like set of actions (e.g. Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.) and this would also allow us to address other bugs like, for instance, 162054.
Having said that, before to start writing new code (possibly a lot of code), I'd really appreciate some feedback whether this strategy makes sense or not.

For the zip plugin, there is an [upstream bug](http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/problems-with-zipnote-writing-to-files-4175502552/) that makes `zipnote` crash. For the 7z plugin, its *rename* command is available only beginning from version 9.28 or later, that is still a beta (even Arch Linux repo are stuck to stable version 9.20). So, for both these formats, either we wait that the renaming feature is made available upstream, or we could try to use libarchive (even if just for renaming).
> - Merging between directories. At the moment is not possible to merge two sibling directories when one of the two is renamed with the name of the other one. It's also not possible to overwrite a directory by a sibling file and viceversa. This feature needs much more work, a own review request and probably a deep refactoring of the `ArchiveNode`/`ArchiveEntry` usage.
