Multiple select and split all comments after certain point

As far as I can see, prune and graft only applies to individual comments.

Pruning and grafting apply to one comment (or node) and all of their children. That's of course more easily observed in threaded view.

If you could force flatforum replies to become a child of the latest comment, moving threads will become much easier.

1. Multiple select comments and prune them en-masse to a new thread.

2. Select one comment, then split the entire thread from that point to a new thread.

1. Will require extensive modifications.
2. Will produce very counter intuitive results depending on the sorting order of the comments.

A sorely missing feature. I am using advnaced forum, I have overriden "reply" to remove it from the forums, and it would be great to be able to select a *range* of one to "n" comments, and move them, and have one comment showing the redirection left in the old thread.

The selection of comments could be done with checkboxes, then hitting the "prune" link. I am going to be looking into the code this week, to see if it is possible to add this onto the module (for flatforums with no "reply" links).

after pruning and graftig about 10 comments (6 more to come).. I'd really wish to have this feature. Already had a look at admin/content/comment, if there was a selection to move them in bulk, but sadly no. :(
I am using flat comments and flat comment list for my forum.

@flat comments: it produces lots of work, but gives the chance to cut out parts from a thread, which are not on topic.

my assumption to manage this:
- select cids from admin/content/comment
- choose move comments from the dropdown
- hit update
- get asked where to which node to move them.

problems I encounter with this:
- the number of nodes on a website makes it hard to select the right one.

other proposals:
- have a node in prune status, to attach comments to it?
- choose comments, then go to the place where to insert them?

This feature is coming, because if it doesn't come before I get to it, I am tasked with creating a patch to this module that implements this, some time in later July...

what's the status here?

For me, it's adequate if a comment can be 'promoted' with the result that all comments after it in the thread become comments on the promoted one... I used Flatcomments, so I guess that would mean that CommentMover would just need to make all the downstream comments replies to the newly promoted one.

Putting this on the 2.x roadmap.

Oh, good to see there's already an issue for this. As much as I love Drupal's forums, this is one lack that drives me batty. Threads frequently go way OT on my site and I really would love to grab the first OT post and sling it into its own thread.

Thanks for taking this on and I look forward to 2.x

Important feature.

I am hopefully waiting for the 2.x issue as well :)

I wonder how is the progress?

The multiple selection of the comments and even nodes is present in the current release of 7.x-1.0 version.
