easiest move of search result files by drag and drop?

[jimspoon]

I know we can move search result files by dragging to a folder shown in the Path column - but what if the desired destination folder is not shown?

I know we can drag search result files to the Search bar, and then we can add a folder to the search results using an OR | operator. Then it's easy to drag and drop the files to that folder.

Seems like the easiest thing would be to have a "drop target" pane, that would show only folders, and that we could filter just like we filter the files shown in the search results pane. Then we could drag and drop the files in the search results pane to the desired folder in the drop target pane. Or do we already have something like that? I looked but I don't see anything like that.

A "work" pane is on my TODO list where you can temporarily drag-drop files.

For now, the easiest is to use the clipboard.

I keep a separate Window open that has various folders of interest listed.
In my other windows I'll select / Cut, then, Alt+Tab to that separate Window, & Paste into the appropriate folder.

Separate Window:

Code: Select all

Folder 1
Folder 2
Folder 3
