You may move objects -- or their copies -- from a folder to another folder.

For this purpose you use your clipboard as follow:

• Click the checkboxes of the objects you want to move or copy.
• Click  Edit    Cut   from your main menu bar to transfer the objects to your clipboard, or  | cut |   from the selection menu bar.
• Use  Copy   to transfer copies of the objects to your clipboard.

  There is a visual feedback from the clipboard: It is no longer empty.

• Open the folder to which the objects are to be moved.
• Click  Edit    Paste   or  | paste |   to transfer the objects into this folder.

Note:

To  Copy   a folder means to recursively copy all objects contained in it, including all folders, sub-folders etc. and their contents. This may need much storage space.

If you need to have the folder accessible from several locations, you might consider creating a link via  Bookmark   .

Full functionality

After a cut or copy operation you may delay the paste operation.In this case the clipboard holds all objects that have been cut or copied to it and have not yet been cut or dropped in a new location or deleted to the trash. Your clipboard "remembers" the (group of) objects that were added by the latest copy or cut as the current selection. In the list of objects in the clipboard, the marked checkboxes indicate the current selection. By clicking the checkboxes, you may change the current selection manually. As long as you have not modified the current selection, all objects in it will be transferred to the folder where you next choose  Edit    Paste   .

To transfer a current selection that you have changed manually, you have to click  Cut   , while you are in the clipboard. All selected objects will then be transferred to the folder where you next click  Edit    Paste  

You may even transfer the current selection to another folder within your clipboard. This is useful for collecting objects from different locations in a folder inside your clipboard to  Archive   them later (see 7.1).
