I have an image clipped inside a rectangle shape, how can I move the image inside without affecting the rectangle shape?
Maybe it is a simple operation but I already search for hours without a right answer.

Select the clipped object
Do Object > Clip > Release
Move the image
Select the both the image and the clipping path
Do Object > Clip > Set.
Another method is to use an actual clipping group.
Draw a rectangle over an image
Select both
Right click and choose "Create Clip Group"
Double click to enter the group
Double click the image again to just select the image
Move it to the desired position.

Is almost perfect, when I follow your new instructions the rectangle fill color is still showed, is it the normaI behavior? I recorded a video to try explain it better. I can fix this by removing the rectangle fill, but this is strange to me since I came from Illustrator and there when you create a clipping mask the fill of the object that clipps is automatically hidden youtu.be/tTeFULLKMfU – GhostOrder Jan 11 '20 at 15:51

OPTION 1:
Go to
Edit → Preferences → Behavior → Clippaths and masks
and select
Put all clipped/masked objects into one group.
This option is a "shortcut" to the manual option below (option 2). When you clip an image again, you can double-click on clip and drag the image. Or go to OBJECTS panel and select the image within clip and drag (as shown in print below).
OPTION 2:
Another option is to group the image before clip.
After that, go to the Object menu and click Objects…. The selected clip object (in image below g1566) has an arrow. When click in the arrow, the clipped image will appears. Click in the image object (in image below image1559) and move/transform the image.
