Copying Catalog items?

Post by Filehero »

Hi,

seems I don't see the wood for the trees one more again, but: how the heck can I copy/paste the plain standard catalog items between categories and/or catalogs? I always thought that works, but see the copy command greyed out on items all the time. This makes rearranging existing catalog structures a real pita. :?


Thanks,
Filehero

you can't. Those ctx menu items aren't for what you think.

from the man:
"Note that, of course, only files and folders are copyable, but not drives, Quick Searches, or web-URLs."

ie, these copy-pastes only work when the catalog items point to files or folders. :(
And even then, apparently only fully expanded file and folders are copyable. (Not ones defined with %enviro-variables%, or <xyfolders>)

Hi Sammay,

thanks, I expected something like this, but wasn't really sure since the items I call "standard" aren't explicitly listed in

We may start a common "Streamline Catalog" wish thread some day - next year.
