Moving HTML files.

(1/3) > >>

abrogard:
I've just got the prog and am just learning it.  I was going well the last couple of hours sorting a very choked directory into a number of categories when I suddenly thought about html.

They come into two parts.

I've been moving (select and f6) the html. 

I took a look.  It hasn't moved the _files folder that comes with each html page.

Guess throwing everything back in one dir again and starting over is what I'll have to do.

Took a look around and couldn't see where I make it take the two together. Can someone direct me to it, please?

And if there are any more kinda obvious traps for young players......

You moved files but it did not delete the source folder but moved the files ?

Maybe you do not have permission ?

Was it over network. ?  Windows server ? or Samba ? (samba have a couple of strange issues with windows)

 I didn't say it clearly enough.

 I have a file 'DNA Ancestry Tests are Meaningless.htm'  folder called 'DNA Ancestry Tests are Meaningless_files'

Every htm file is like that. It has an associated folder which carries the  images and whatever.

 When I copy or move or delete that htm file in Windows it also copies or moves or deletes the folder.

 It seems that Multicommander moved the htm file and left the folder.

 There's probably a switch somewhere to make it take the both, just like there's a switch in Windows to have them treated as one - which is set and which works when using Windows Explorer - but I don't know where it is.

See?  it is not a question of trying to move a folder and the files inside it as I think you are thinking.

?? You say move files but the question is not about moving file ? I don't understand.
No there is no switch to not delete file when moving them..  If you dont want to delete them than copy them. dont move them.


Sounds like the folder and folder are next to each other. ? but that can be right or ?
But I suspect you mean that the file is inside the folder and that you copy/move the folder ? and the file is moved but the folder is not removed ?

You can check the FileOperation log (Ctrl+L) and see if there are any errors.

But if the if you select to move the folder it will move the folder and the file inside it.
If the folder is not delete and left empty, it can be because of two things. permission you do not have permission to delete the folder.
or because some other program has a lock on that folder.

Imagine:

--- Code: ---[NAME_files]
NAME.html
--- End code ---

If i understand correctly, abrogard wants MC to automatically copy/move [NAME_files] folder when he copies/moves NAME.html
