"Send To" or similar function in Linux question

[Brian Alex]

I noticed today that a bunch of scans and pictures were saved in "Documents" instead of the desired "Pictures" when I was brand new to Linux, you know, 4 months ago. If this was Windows I would use the Cntrl key to highlight the lot of them, right-click and choose "send to -pictures- ( I think this was an option anyway, it's been so long). With Linux, apparently you need to copy and paste each one? Or is there a better way? I miss this option (Send-To), it seems like it would be a great addition to Linux.

In your filemanager there are different methods to highlight files (Ctrl, Shift, Create bounding box with mouse, ...). Now you can use the context menu (right mouse button normally) and choose "copy to" or "move to" and chose your destination. Isn't that was you are looking for?

Shift + click (or arrow) and CTRL + click should work.

Sorry to be so dense but I don't see how to use filemanager. Ctrl does nothing to a selected file. Ok, I'll research it. Thanks

Shift +click does nothing, Ctrl+ click does nothing. I am talking about the list of content on my Documents directory. Oh boy. I feel like a complete idjit. Going to lunch, that might partially solve the root problem. BA

hold down the shift key (hhold it down).... left click each file you need to transfer (just a single click) .....then right click (anywhere will do) and select copy. Then go to the Pictures folder, right click and select paste.

Done.

Hmm... It should. Are you using a different file manager, something other than the default?
