mass move images to new folder
« on: April 07, 2003, 10:13:32 PM »
Someone asked this question before but it was never answered.  Is there a way to mass move images (move a lot of images at once) to a new folder?  I have 3700 images that I want to move to a new folder...do it individually would take forever.

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

no, there is nothing that can do it...
unless u copy your files through ftp, and then do "check new images"...
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
Please do not PM me asking for help unless you've been specifically asked to do so. Such PMs will be deleted without answer. (forum rule #6)

mv <dir 1>/* <dir 2>

and "Check New Images"
