Just use move from dt and select the new destination. I'm doing that all the time. The old location (directory) will be removed if empty. > If i remove and then re-import, will they keep all the changes, > metadata, tags, etc.? My XMP files are up-to-date. No need to do that except if you want to move lot of film-rolls. And yes, you won't loose metadata. > If i use DT to move the images, is there a way to move the entire film > roll, (re)creating the target directory structure?

When you click move you'll have a file dialog and the possibility to create the new film-roll. But you have to move one film roll at a time. -- Pascal Obry / Magny Les Hameaux (78) The best way to travel is by means of imagination http://v2p.fr.eu.org http://www.obry.net gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key F949BD3B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
