Request to Include "Rename" and "Move" Events in Webhook Notifications #50938
Description
I've noticed that while the Nextcloud webhook currently emits events for actions such as file creation, update, and deletion, it does not provide distinct events for file renaming or moving. This limitation poses challenges for integrations and applications that rely on webhooks to accurately track file changes and maintain synchronization.
Questions:
- Reasoning: Is there a specific design or technical reason for not including dedicated events for renaming and moving files?
- Future Plans: Are there any plans to add support for "rename" and "move" events in upcoming releases?
- Workaround: In the meantime, is there a recommended approach or workaround to detect when files are renamed or moved via webhooks?
I believe that adding these events would improve the reliability of third-party integrations that depend on comprehensive file event notifications. Any insights or updates on this feature would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

I don't see any reason why not. It should already in theory:

I'm running Nextcloud 31 and both the OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeRenamedEvent and OCP\Files\Events\Node\BeforeNodeRenamedEvent are not working:
Instead, only the OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeWrittenEvent and OCP\Files\Events\Node\NodeDeletedEvent are being triggered:
