Need moved files to disappear from ListBox

Post by *nemadeka »

Good day,

I am searching for specific files in a directory tree containing some 60000 files, then I feed the search results into the list box, then I create a directory and move some of the files in/from the list box to the empty directory.

The idea is to move the data which has been found (presented in the ListBox) into different directories, until everything is sorted.

However, when the files are moved, they reappear in the listbox with a different path.
Ideally for me, they should be removed from the list box. (It would be logical to have this behaviour by deafult, imvho.)

I am using version 9.22a. Is such a feature implemented in the latest version? If not, can I hope for that?

Thank you.

Copy the files to the new directory and then delete them from the listbox

Yes, I am curious too about nemadeka's workaround...

The path in the listbox changes after the files are copied, this is a good guidance for me, because I simply move the files as they appear sequentially in the list.
However, if you have gaps in the moved files list, this will create a problem.

not a workaround, but a duct-tape technology solution
I would guess the default behaviour of the listbox must be changed, it is currently illogical.
