I have been a member of the Model club of the Washington DC
region, MicNOVA for 3 yrs.
The stockwatcher files are a mess, with lots of old files
that are unneeded, but not yet ready to be trashed. The
members are not organizing/deleting their files.
I wouldn't mind doing the housekeeping/organizing if I could
select/move groups of files within one folder into another
folder: ie:
Colgate current files folder
--Colgate older files folder
... but I am unwilling to move them one file at a time with
the modify-- move file option. Is there anything I am
missing or a simple workaround or good structure, so that I
can move a group of files at one time?

Hi Etana,
You can move a folder full of files all at one time but there is currently no way to bulk move a random selection of files that are in different folders all at once.
If this is something others would also like to be able to do, please speak up. Our programmers need to know what your priorities are so they can effectively prioritize the changes they work on.

I would like to move all the "last quarter" and "2010" files into the folder called: "folder of older files to trash someday; but I would like to do it as one motion, not as 7 individual moves.
Even though the files are organized so well, it is so tedious to clean old files that we are not yet ready to trash, that megs of files languish, both taking up storage and also making the folders hard for the members to find the most current files.
I have thought of each quarter, making a Folder Colgate NEW, and putting the new files into that, and putting the old folders into that, but I think that will be too complex, and there will be folders within folders within folders, and the original files folder will get buried.
thanks,
Etana

I've had to move several files/documents for a couple of clubs, and it can be laborious, because of all the steps that are needed. It would be great if Bivio could re-program to allow "click & move" functions.

Laurie,
Thank you for the immediate reply.
The files are not in diverse folders...
The structure is
this:
Stockwatcher folder Colgate
last quarter's ssg
last quarter's valueline
last quarter's morningstar
last quarter's MI fundamental forecast
last quarter's stockwatcher quarterly report
2010 ssg
2010 valueline
current quarter's ssg
current quarter's Valueline
folder original Colgate purchase files to keep
original ssg
original Valueline
folder of older files to trash someday
Laurie and all,
I would like to move all the "last quarter" and "2010" files into the folder called: "folder of older files to trash someday; but I would like to do it as one motion, not as 7 individual moves.

The eliminate of the "unzip" option has been the biggest impediment for us. We would work on our files offline, update, zip, post and unzip. Worked beautifully! Now, it's 20+ minutes of moving and updating files individually.
