I just had a big brain buster of an idea for a feature request. How
about the ability to (M)ove files when using the filebase indexer .. it
I guess I am not quite picturing how that'd work since there are no files listed in that area, just file bases.
If I had a move option there, then it'd either have to prompt you to
type a filename to move, or it'd have to pull up a list of files for you to scroll through to select the file. If its pulling up a list of files for you to scroll through, then its not really much different than just pressing enter on the file base and scrolling to the file you want to
move and moving it (how it works now).
Here's an idea. As a sysop, why not be able to move directly from the
file list, by either tagging multiple files or by selecting a single
file, hitting "M" for move, and it comes up with the box that asks you where to move them to. It would cut down on keystrokes and a bit of time.

If your desire is to move a lot of files at once - like if you're reorganizing a lot of things, then I would use MUTIL. You can use the
OS file manager to copy all of the files to the desired file base
folders and then run MUTIL with MassUpload and FilePack (with check and delete enabled). It will upload the newly copied files and remove the
old records.
I'll add that to my TODO list but I am not sure how much recoding it
would take to put the move command there. The net gain is going from pressing "E" and then "M" to just "M" so we're talking about saving
maybe a second at best.
There probably isn't going to be a tagging to move option there because tagging in that place puts the files into your download queue.

have the ability to move it direct, and the answer.. stop being a
dumbass and just add a move command to the file listing menu .. sorry..
