MOVING FILES AND FOLDERS

There are three ways to move files and folders: using clipboard (Cut and Paste commands), using the Move To … command, or with drag and drop.

Moving files and folders using Move To command

Mark source files, open in another file manager destination folder and select Move To ... command from context or main menu (Commands item) or pres F6.

In the shown dialog, check the destination folder, moving options and press Ok. AccelMan can compress files into a ZIP archive (Alt+F6) if checked corresponding options in copy dialog.

Moving files and folders using clipboard

Mark source files and folders and press Ctrl+X (or Shift+Delete) to place it into clipboard. As alternative, you can use context or main menu - Cut command. Then, open destination folder in some File Manager (you can open it in Windows Explorer or another application too) and press there Ctrl+V (Shift+Insert) to paste. Also, you can use context or main menu: command Paste.

Moving files and folders with Drag and Drop

Mark source files and folders, drag selection with pressed Shift to destination folder (either in some of File Managers or any other Windows application) and drop. When dragging to hidden manager - place files for a moment onto manager tab to activate it.

Another way: drag files with right mouse button and select Move from confirmation menu on drop.

AccelMan has original feature: when you dragging files over some folder in file manager list and wait for a ~1.5 sec, this destination folder will be opened, and you can access to it sub folders. By the same way, you can drag files into parent folders.

Press Alt key when dragging files to use File Operation Dialog to change options of moving (e.g. turn on ZIP compression).
