Move file to a folder at the press of a key...

[meteorquake]

Suppose I wanted on highlighted files to press M to move them to some custom folder F - how might I do that without creating any external scripts to run?

Thanks! David

A couple options:

1). Create a bookmark to setup an advanced move:

• In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Add to bookmarks.
• Change the Name to: Move to My Folder
  (can be anything you like)
• Change the Search to:
  /advanced-move-to ^(.*)\\([^\\]*)$ "D:\\new folder\\\2" 0 0 1 0
  
  (where D:\\new folder is your new folder location)
• Optionally, set a keyboard shortcut (eg: Ctrl + M)
• Click OK.

/advanced-move-to


2). Create an external script/bat file and add a custom open command.

Thanks void!

The /advanced-move-to almost works - it pops up the dialog, whereas I was thinking of a keypress which would instantly execute the move, useful when you're sorting through files into a few 'piles'. I guess the /advanced-move-to is short of a run flag.

I had been aiming for something within Everything since the move is then added to the Undo dialog for reversal, and also more intuitive to edit each time you want to adjust it, otherwise I would make a short .vbs script to do the task, with the shortcoming of not being undoable.

Is there a way to use advanced move or advanced copy using Teracopy?
I prefer it going through Teracopy because of its file verification ability.

No.
