move multiple files at once

Post by pdenchfield »

Is there a way to move multiple files at once, so that Flare gives me the "update links" prompt successively for each file?

My import resulted in images together with content files. I want to move the images into the Resources>Images folder. So far I've been reduced to cut-and-paste, one at a time, and clicking OK on the "update links" prompt. There must be a better way!

(Tried File List....)

Thanks!

In the Content Editor, click on the Show Files icon (second from the left in v10). When you click on it, it will split the Content Explorer vertically into two smaller panes. You can then select multiple files in the pane on the right and move them to the desired folder on the left. You're not prompted one file at a time to update link; it'll update all of them at once if you click Yes at the prompt.

EDIT: I forgot it shows all the files at the prompt, so you can choose files one at a time to update, but most times you'll want to update links in all files, so you can select the option to update all files.

Oh wow, thanks for this. I have been using Flare for years and never knew you could move multiple files like that!
