Help, lost ability to move files

Post by Norberstudios »

I can still find and use the Move_to cmd but the regular move cmd seems to be missing?

I use xnview to cull images and have always designated a folder when starting with the move_to command on a keyboard shortcut, and then every subsequent file gets sent to the same folder with the move command as a separate keyboard shortcut, now that command is no longer there.

please help as this severely hurts my workflow when going through a thousand photos.

there has always been only one cmd_moveFileTo (Alt+M) command that opens the 'Move to' dialog.
It remembers the last used folder, so you only have to press Enter to move.

hmmm interesting, was there a way to add a key bind configuration in the past? I definitely have always just pressed M to move them after the initial shift+command+M for the move_to cmd to designate the folder.

it is a MAC M2 fwiw

I have created a script as a workaround for now that basically uses the move to come followed by an enter press a moment later and tied that to a keyboard shortcut. but it's very strange to me, all of my keyboard shortcuts were reverted to default after this update and this particular one is missing. I had to go back in and reconfigure many of them to what they used to be.
