the batch-programme does not want to process my first simple task (storing in a new folder - nothing more; -)

[Martin Kaspar]

hello dear Mailing-list,



first of all: many many thanks for the great help so far - i am overwhelmed by the gentil and supportive mails i received in the last 24 hours.
it is a great experience to see how powerful and genti open-source-communities work togheter in user2user-support and all the other tasks.

i love to be here... 

here my new issue:
 i am quite very very new to Digikam and i do my very first steps with this great programme. At the moment i try to figure out how i can work with the batch-programme.

for the first step i want to move 111 images from one folder to another  (in fact to a subfolder - see the attached image)
i have choosen the images and each i wanted to add to the batch i treated with Controll + B  (in German i used Strg.+ B)


i have managed to add 111 images to the batch and now i see them in the batch-programme user-interface. So far so good!

The very very first step to do things is i want to move them from one folder to another - (i attached an image, so you can see
what i want to: moving them from the folder "books_1" to the subfolder called "lit_shot"

As i do not want to performe any other action and do not want to apply any tool to my newly created batch i am still wondering
how i do that.
Note; at the monent the status-line constates that there is no job and no action to do - so i still muse about the way to store
all the images that i have in  the batch at the moment (note 111) in the subfolder!?

Can you advice me how to do that!?
i hope that i was able to explain all the necessary things. if you do have any questions - do not hesitate to ask;-)



love to hear form you ...

greetings
matze

Moving pictures (or copying them) to another folder doesn't require the batch tool. You just have to select the pictures, then right-click on one of them, and select "Move" (I'm translating from french, so the wording might slightly different).
But if you want to modify/edit them, the batch tool allows you to chose a destination folder, so you don't override the initial pictures.

hello dear Marie

Many thanks for the help  - i tried to figure out which tasks are possible with thebatch programme.
and after loading some hundred files into a  queue i wondered why the batch does notdo this simple task
of course i know how to move & copy files from oone folder to  another...

but - as  you allready pointet out the strenth  of the batch and of digikam itself is

if you have to choose hundreds or thousands of images alongside yoour work - within a short time - then
yes then you probably choose (and prefer) the digikam and batch way over the scripting or doing it manually way.

Since the Selecting-process and the copy or move-process will fall into allmost one process and step.

you can work much much quicker this way...

many thanks dear marie for doings such agreat work here - and for helping out in this forums

btw  - your spelling and wording is great!

greetings
martin
