You may move objects -- or their copies -- from a folder or workspace to almost any other location in your hierarchy of folders or workspaces.

To do this, you use your clipboard. This personal object is represented by the icon in the instant access bar of every folder page.

In the simplest way to use your clipboard, it is like using a conventional text clipboard:

• click their checkboxes to select the objects you want to move or copy.
• click  Edit    Cut   from your main menu bar or to transfer the objects to your clipboard, or  cut   from the selection menu bar.
• Use  Copy   instead to transfer copies of the objects to your clipboard.

There is a visual feedback from the clipboard: . It is "full" now.

• Open the folder to which the objects are to be moved.
• Click  Edit    Paste   on the main menu bar to transfer into this folder the objects that you have just cut or copied.

Note:

To  Copy   a folder means to recursively copy all objects contained in it, including all folders, sub-folders etc. and their contents. In many cases a  Cut   action could serve the same purpose and would need much less storage space.

If you need to have the folder accessible from the "old" and from the "new" location, you might consider creating in the "new" location a URL object with the address of the folder in the original location.

Full functionality

To enjoy the full functionality of your clipboard, organize and use it like a special folder -- open it by clicking

The clipboard holds all objects that have been cut or copied to it and have not yet been cut or dropped in a new location or deleted to the wastebasket. Your clipboard "remembers" the (group of) objects that were added by the latest Copy   or  Cut   as the current selection. In the list of objects in the clipboard, the marked checkboxes indicate the current selection. By clicking the checkboxes, you may change the current selection manually. As long as you have not modified the current selection, all objects in it will be transferred to the folder where you next click  Edit    Paste   in the main menu bar of a folder.

To transfer a current selection that you have changed manually, you have to click  Cut   , while you are in the clipboard. All selected objects will then be transferred to the folder where you next click  Edit    Paste  

You may even transfer the current selection to another folder within your clipboard. This is useful for collecting objects from different locations in a folder inside your clipboard to later  Archive   them (more on this in section 4.13).
