Finished Programs / Re: Move to Parent

« Last post by nkormanik on December 15, 2010, 04:58 PM »

awopbamboo, best yet offered here.  Good job.  Works for one file or FOLDER at a time.

Multiple selected files or folders, no.

And some types of files (go figure, like pdfs), "Move To Parent" doesn't appear in right-click context menu.

But..., yours is definitely worth keeping installed.

(by the way, just in case one does install, and feels differently, you might want to include an uninstall to switch their registry back to how it was prior....)

Lord Skwire,  I sure WISH my mice did have that scroll wheel.  Maybe someday I'll replace these, but not yet.

Still no context menu comes up, such as in the picture.  Nothing.

Well, we tried.

Thanks!

Ctrl-Left Click would work just fine.

How do I get the program you mentioned to recognize that button sequence?

Thank you for continuing to monitor possibilities, as the need still exists.

I've downloaded and am trying the program you recommended.  Only problem so far is that to activate the menu one is supposed to press the "third mouse button" --- well, I don't have a third mouse button.

Hmmmm.

This particular utility, while a good attempt at the challenge, is spotty.  Sometimes it works.  Most of the time it doesn't.  I uninstalled it after a few days of testing.

The idea of moving files, folders to the parent directory is a super one.  Too bad it's so difficult to successfully write a program that does this.

Well, you accomplished something that was quite needed.

Windows XP Pro, SP3, with pretty much all the latest updates.

Once again, very good placement on the context menu location.

Thanks again lanux128.  I really like the new context menu position.  That's perfect.

Unfortunately, no go on folders still.  And some files do move, while others don't.

When selecting a small group of files and internet shortcuts, the shortcuts move to parent, while the files stay.

Selecting a single file, though, works fine.

Must be harder to accomplish than one would think, huh.  That's apparently why no one else in cyberland has yet done it.

Sorry for initially posting to the wrong thread.  For those just picking up, here was the request:

Small program request:

Context menu item in Windows Explorer.

shortened name: "Move To Parent"

long name:  "Move Selected Items To Parent Directory"

In the old DOS days, it was easy to type in "move xyz.txt ..", or "move *.jpg .."

In Windows there is nothing similar.  And searching through Google turned up no simple program to accomplish this.

Can any of the gurus here do it?

Thanks,

Thank you lanus128.

Your little compilation works fine on files of all sorts, and on a number of files at once.

For some reason it does not work with folders.

Too, it would be one less step to keep it in the main context menu itself.

Good work, though.  I appreciate it.

How exciting.  Thank you.

By the way, I did come across a more elaborate shareware program that included the feature in it, along with many, many other things.  That program is called Moo0 RightClicker.  I think they wanted about $40 for the whole package.  All I really want is this one single function.
