Copy & paste photos

Post by Desinnz »

Hello Supreme Users

Can someone explain how to "copy and paste" photos between folders or into a new folder please. Sounds simple enough. I can "copy"and the files are copied to the clipboard or the message tells me but the "paste" option is blocked and Crtl V doesn't work. I tried to search this subject and perhaps its buried in the forum somewhere, but if so, I could not find it.

I was wanting to select photos from a range of folders and place copies of them into a new folder then access this folder/photos externally using another program.
I tried to use the Image Basket thinking I could copy into the basket and then copy out of there but I find it moves the original photo which I do not want and because I want to work on the files it cant be a virtual collection.

As this is for a client and I needed to do this quickly after some time of trying and reading the Help files I realised the only work around was to use IDI V5 as it works beautifully - I keep finding reasons to use IDI V5

Thank you

When in the FOLDERS section you open the folder where you want to paste to and there press Ctrl+V (or right click on the background and select "Paste to this Folder".

Thank you for your reply ... I always feel stupid trying to work out things in Photo Supreme as the instructions are basic to say the least and after trying everything logical, having to ask for help.

I have been working in the FOLDERS section the whole time - Ive just worked out what the "Background" is, but cant see why is "paste" blocked from the right click menu ???
Ive not been able to make Ctrl V work

Reasons for not being able to paste could be:
- you're in offline mode
- the folder's medium is not attached (or maybe you need to relocate??)...is the folder's icon in the Catalog Tree red or yellow?
- the folder doesn't exist on disk
