| Summary | 0016053: Copy/move of folders moves just tracks (not the sub-folders) | ||||
| Description | There is a feature request described at https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=95288 Currently (both MM4 & MM5) works this way: I select a subfolder with some tracks in a Location directory and want to move the subfolder + tracks to another folder. So right click -> send to -> folder (move) -> select 'new folder' and this should create .\new folder\subfolder\track1, ...2, ...3, etc. What happens now is that all tracks are moved to .\new folder\track1, ...2, ...3, etc., so the subfolder is not created in the target. What does happen is that the Subfolder is removed in the original location which is ok. It appears to me that the subfolder should have been created in the destination, since that was the object that was moved... | ||||

Assigned to Rusty to triage whether this can be changed or whether there is a need to keep the current approach OR have somehow both available? e.g. because of exiting MM4 users would expect it to work like in MM4? Nevertheless sounds to me rather as 5.1 item? |

I expect that most users generally expect that: - Selecting a folder implies selection of the contents of that folder and subfolders contained within. - Selecting the tracks within a folder only implies selection of those tracks. The downside is that currently, right-clicking on a folder/location is used to represent all tracks within that location (e.g. for auto-organize) and that might not make sense in the above scheme--i.e. in the above scheme, selecting a folder should probably only represent the tracks (and folders) that it contains directly. In other words, users would have to select tracks directly to perform mass operations on folder contents. Note: - this approach would have to be applied to both Locations and Folders. |
