[TYPO3-dam] tx_dam : still no move file function ?

[Lorenz Ulrich]

Hi Alban

You can move files, but not folders. Go to File>List, choose "Display 
batch edit options" from the options menu. Now you have a checkbox at 
the left of each file. Check the file you want to move, choose a command 
(like copy/move/delete) below and hit "Execute". Then you can choose the 
destination folder and confirm.


Best regards,


Lorenz
