Drag/Drop Folder Movement and Manipulation

Post by Bill Dempsey »

I'm a photographer. I have hundreds of folders of images on my large hard drives. Your program let's me find and move images around better & faster than any program I've used except for one major problem. I am not able to drag entire folders into other folders using the browser. This would be a HUGE benefit for grouping and sub-grouping images. As it is now, I have to find the folders with the correct images using your browser and then go out to Windows to move that folder to another folder. It's cumbersome.

Please add the ability to move folders around into other folders.

Dragging Folders in directory tree

Post by Bill Dempsey »

using Version 1.82.4 in Windows XP

When I try to drag a folder in the directory tree on the left side, it doesn't drag. I want to be able to click and drag a folder then drop that folder inside another folder in that tree diagram on the left side. Also when dragging an item, and you hit the top edge or bottom edge of the displayed portion of the list, it should normally scroll to allow you to drag a folder to another folder that isn't currently displayed.

OK, I tried to drag a folder from the browser to other folder in browser and to folder tree. Folder from folder tree to 'somewhere' doesn't work, confirmed.
