Feature Request - Move Selected Files Up One Level
Posted: 22.10.2017, 06:40
Scenario: A folder contains 2-3 subfolders that contain files that need to be merged into the top level folder.
My process: Enter the 1st folder; select all files, use multi-rename to add a '1' to each file. Select all files, press CTRL-X to cut the files; move up one level to the parent folder; press Ctrl-V to paste the files. Enter the 2nd folder; use multi-rename to add a '2' to each file. Select all files, press CTRL-X to cut the files; move up one level to the parent folder; press Ctrl-V to paste the files. Select all files; use multi-rename to renumber all of the files using a standard nn-<filename> format
Request. Ability to add a button (preferably in the center of the split windows) that would do the following steps for me:
1. Select all files in the current folder
2. Move all selected files up one level (parent folder)
3. Change directory up one level (parent folder) - the moved files are now visible
I estimate I'd repeated this process (using various file managers) over the years at LEAST 25,000 times... this would be a massive time saver for me and add something unique to FC.
Thoughts?
