Feature Request - Drag & drop multiple files to move files

From Wiki:

Drag and Drop

You can use MC's My Computer (found in the tree under Drives and Devices) to drag whole folders to a new location. MC will update its library to reflect the changes.


I have found this feature useful, but it would be tremendously more useful if I could outline multiple files as you can in windows explorer and move multiple files.

Thanks for your consideration.

Feel free to ignore me on this but...

This sounds like a tool that would be pretty easy to make mistakes with.  Drag and Drop is rather inaccurate compared to other methods.  I know I've made many mistakes with drag and drop over the years.

I wouldn't bother with this at all since the Rename, Move, and Copy files tool allows you to move anything you want in a more structured way.  Just highlight the files you want to move, then fill out the RM&C form, see the preview of what it's going to do, and if it looks right, press OK for MC to move the files.

I've used RM&C a lot and it's a very solid, very useful tool.

I will try it and let you know.  This is the first time I started with reorganizing my library and used the drag and drop to test and it was effective, but immediately i wanted the ability to do multiple files.

For what I want to do, this does not seem to be effective.  I want it to move the files in explorer and rename the path at the same time.  I reiterate my original request.  It would make this job much less time consuming.

blgentry:
I don't think you understand the tool.  Which is fine.  I can assure you that RM&C can do anything that drag and drop can do.  If you want drag and drop, perhaps the developers think this is a good feature. 

Or maybe one of us can walk you through RM&C to achieve the results you are after.

Good luck.

Brian.
