Copy Tagged Files

[TestMeister]

I am likely missing something but is there a way to copy tagged files without re-selecting them after tagging ?

I have a folder full of pictures and using the very cool XY Preview feature, go through and tag the ones I want to send. I could Select them but that tends to be a bit volatile with the tagging more persistent.

After I tag the items I want to copy them to another folder. I can't seem to find a "copy tagged items" option so re-select the the tagged items.

Thanks

No, there is nothing like that. You will have to re-select them (or write a script that does it).

Couldn't test it enough as I don't have many tagged files on this machine - worked ok on sample files and folders (and subfolders).
Supported operations: moveto, copyto (flat), copyto (rich), backupto (preserving original timestamps).

Sorry, *had* to made it a 4 steps script: 1 - type of operation, 2 - base folders to report on, 3 - select reported source files and folders, 4 - select the target folder.
*It does not discriminates which type of tagging is done on source items*.

Hi'
Seems we have a similar workflow: tagging (labeling) files when reviewing them to "mark" them, then when it's done, selecting the labeled files to act upon (to copy, move, rename, etc.).
As Don said, there's no automation, so one must use scripts like SkyFrontier's one.

But at least to answer your "reselect the tagged items", here's what I use when I'm done marking (I suppose you meant labeling instead of tagging):
- Select one of your labeled items
- Run this script (e.g. associate it to a keyboard shortcut or a button):

Code: Select all

selfilter report("{Label}", 1), , "Label";

This will select all items with the same label as the file you've selected. Useful when you mark items with different labels (e.g. "Green: Priority", "Orange: Work in progress"...)

Hope this helps,
Flux,
