You can rename including a folder structure using the multi rename dialog (Ctrl+M)

giulia, TC is able to create missing directories since 8.01. But it always appends resulting name to file path, so you can't move files to another drive, and you can't directly move files to a directory that is outside file's directory.

However you can move files to any directory within same volume, you need to add prefix ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\ (repeat ..\ enough times to go to root, one item moves one level up), then you can use parts of current path using [=tc.Path] field, and then you can remove starting part of path using search and replace MRT section.

So, if you rename two files, C:\old\test.txt and C:\old\bin\test.exe, and you want to move them to C:\job\home, you need to use name ..\job\home\[=tc.Path][N] (single ..\ is enough in this case) and type C.\old\ in search field and \ in replace field (you may look at displayed result and correct search and replace strings).
