Hi everyone,

This is my first post, so I hope I am writing at the right place. I apologize if the question has already been answered elsewhere.

So here it is: when I hit F6 command (rename, move and copy files command), it seems that JRiver 22 will only detect and move pictures, scans, and other files that are in the same directory as the music files.
Is there a way to automatically move all sub-folders contents along with the music files?

Thanks!

There's a check box at the upper left of the dialog that will move all files (even stuff that's not imported) if you check it.  I'm not 100% sure about subdirectories.  Give it a try on a test directory and see if it works for you. 

Good luck.

Brian.

Thank you for your answer, Brian, but unfortunately, that checkbox only works for files that are in the same directory, not for sub-folders like "art", "scans", "bios" or whatever they're called...

Hmm, that's too bad.

You can always move folders externally and then tell MC that you have done the move yourself.  RM&C has a mode called Update Database.  In that mode MC only updates it's file pointers.  So you do the move externally, then run RM&C in Update mode to reflect your changes, and then MC will be using the new location.

I sometimes use this method when I have to move a lot of data at once.  I've had good luck with it.

I cannot find this option/mode.  Is it on the main RM&C menu?

At the top left of the RM&C screen, along with Copy, Rename, Copy and Update Database.

Thanks.  I missed that there was a drop-down.

Just FYI, you CAN move entire directories (including subdirectories) within MC via the Explorer item under Drives & Devices in the Tree.
