[mapguide-users] Copy or rename of resources

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

There is a call named "EnumerateResources" which will tell you what 
resources is referencing the resource.
I haven't seen a function that does it all server side. You will 
probably have to do it manually.

If you use .Net, the MapGuideAPI has a function for a "smart" copy or 
rename:
http://code.google.com/p/mapstudioos/wiki/HowToUseMapGuideAPI

The functions are called "CopyFolderWithReferences" or 
"MoveFolderWithReferences".
The callback arguments are a bit confusing, but optional.
