Move to folder
« on: May 16, 2008, 04:43:37 PM »
I've been using Bridge since it was released and just now giving PM a chance.
One thing that would make life easier for me is a keyboard shortcut to move an image
to a preset folder as I edit/cull images. I have to save my discards fo a set period
of time and using the mouse to drag every discarded image to a discards folder seems
like it's wasting a lot of time (besides getting tedious).

So, I come upon an image I don't like, I hit command+D and it moves the image from
its current folder to the folder preassigned to that keyboard shortcut.

Make sense?

Sure.  Our feature list has been finalized for the next major version of Photo Mechanic (Version 4.6) so any new requests will have to either be in an update to 4.6 or be in the following major version.

You can achieve almost the same thing by tagging an image or giving the image a Trash color code.  When you are done, just select all the tagged or Trash images and then move them to your destination folder.

What I do is Star code all my keepers from 1 to 5.  Then I select all the images with zero stars and move them to my delete folder (which, like you, I keep for a while).
