Move window

Allows entry of the destination paths and selection of what to move (proofs and/or images). Paths entered into the window are remembered and are displayed the next time the move window is opened.

If move proofs is enabled, the proof path string gadget becomes active allowing selection of a destination directory for proofs. If left disabled, proofs are not moved.

If move images is enabled, the image path string gadget becomes active allowing selection of a destination directory for images. The date stamp and file comment of the source file are copied to the destination file. If left disabled, images are not moved.

Clicking the move gadget starts the move process. The browse window cannot be used during a move and it is not updated visually until after the move is finished.

A progress window opens during the move process.

Move checks if the source is write protected and if so asks the user to retry, copy instead or cancel.

There are several rules when moving proofs and images:

• The proof destination path cannot match the current proof path.
• The image destination path cannot match the current image path.
• If the proofs are linked, the proof destination path cannot match the image destination path.
• If moving images, an image destination path must be supplied.
• A proof destination path is optional depending on whether the proofs are linked or non-linked.

If problems are encountered as proofs and images are moved the following measures are taken:

·        If the proofs are non-linked the proof destination path is ignored and the proofs stay with the image.

·        When moving proofs only and PhotoFolio encounters a non-linked proof, it is not moved and the error window opens displaying the error.

·        When moving proofs only, and PhotoFolio encounters an unsaved proof it is not moved and the error window opens displaying the error.

·        When moving images only, the associated proof is automatically retargeted to point to the new location.

·        If a linked proof of the same name already exists in the destination path, the proof is not moved and the error window opens displaying the error.

·        If an image of the same name already exists in the destination path, a requester opens asking to overwrite the existing image. If you answer yes or yes to all, the linked proof associated with that image is also overwritten (if one exists).

·        If a non-linked proof of the same name already exists in the destination path, the proof is moved and renamed.

·        If a linked proof is moved to a new path, it is removed from the current browse window.
