Move files

Not possible yet.

I was wondering, is this feature possible now? It seems like such a great addition to this module.

I would imagine it would be added as a sub-module like the module Ufku released here: http://drupal.org/project/imce_mkdir

It would make sense that the features be add-ons that could be enabled/disabled. it would be great to also enable/disable the feature per profile.

no need for that by anybody with programming skills?

Has anyone taken this up yet?

Following up on this, the module would have to take into account that the file is registered in the files table in the database. So moving would also require updating the associated record too.

I'm not sure is a registered file only has one database record (1 to 1) between the file and the record entry. If so it would just require an update method for single record.

The key is providing a GUI for this to accomplished. To help define scope here are the interfaces I'd envision.

a) Select file
b) click "move" button
c) display modal dialog providing a directory browser to select a directory (it would also detected what directories the user can see based on their IMCE profile(s)).
d) Select a directory
e) Click "move here" button
e2) or click cancel and close the modal dialog
fa) Grab file record GUID
fb) Lock file table (move file on physical file system)
fb) update file record with new path via (GUID)
g) Release file table
h) refresh directory and files indexes.

Thoughts?

Hi friends, I need to move/copy files in groups with IMCE, when do you think it will be possible?

Greetings,

this would be great!!

It's possible to move files with IMCE Rename - see #1010330: Move files (and maybe even folders?).

Although this doesn't operate securely, it demonstrates method and potential. If only IMCE had this! But it would require permissions and configuration, as well as input dialogs, etc.

I think this question was solved with #14!

In D8 version it is already possible

If this is possible in D8 I don’t see how. Am I missing something? I have IMCE Rename (D8/9) installed also.
