| + | If you have moved set of files to a subfolder, you can use the //Move// command with a selection of moved files and target subfolder. The //Move// command will recreate the subfolder on the opposite side and move the selected files into it. &beta_feature | ||

| + | Instead of locating the move pair manually, you can also use //Tools > Find Move Candidate// command. It searches for a deletion and a new file transfer action pair of files with the same size and either same name or same location. So it finds files that were either renamed or moved into another directory (but not files that were both renamed and moved). For directories, the size is not considered. Selecting the command again, finds another candidate pair. &beta_feature | ||
