Is there a way to import them and then move the files from within MC9?
Browse to the folder on your desktop using MC's internal "windows explorer", the My Computer node on the tree, for future quickness, add this location to your MC favourites list, select the files you want to import, (you will notice that non-imported files have a different coloured icon) then right click on the selection, bottom of the list, "Import into Library" click on that.
Now, right click on your selected files again, hover over "Library Tools", 1st item on the flyout menu is "move/copy disk file" click on that and make your choices. MC will move the files and update itself with their new location.
Job Done.
(If you wish to make changes to the filenames, or directory structure, then after importing, use MC to get the tags the way you want them, and instead of using the "move/copy" tool, use "rename files from properties" instead.
