Moving from structureless view to source dir
Posted: 20.05.2016, 18:08
There is this one directory where I have lots of folders full of image files.
My aim is to move all the files from the subdirectories into the parent.
I go to that parent folder and toggle on structureless view to show all files in parent and all files in its subfolders.
Then I MOVE all the files from structureless view to parent.
So I find a file that I know is in a subfolder and I know is NOT in parent and I push the MOVE button in the splitter.
FC gives me a message saying, "Source and target are the same - operation is not supported"
However, with that file selected, if I toggle off the structureless view, I can move the file just fine.
FCXE version 720 64bit donor edition.
On a side note:
(Maybe there could be a FC folder command for "Remove contents of subdirs to parent and remove dirs"?
