Rearranging Images Within an Album
 |
You can also rearrange the order of images within an album using drag-and-drop
(by default the images are arranged alphabetically). Rearranging within an album is
especially useful when you want to print or publish a whole album and you want the
images to appear in a specific order.
To move an image within an album, select it with the mouse and,
without letting go, drag it to its new location. As you move your image over
the album a red square highlights where the image will appear if you release it.
Release the mouse to drop the image into its new location.

Move and Copy Images Between Albums
|
You can move or copy images between albums by simply dragging and dropping.
Move an image between two open albums, between an open album and the tree, or
even between folders in your Image Explorer tree. First select the image and
without letting go of the mouse drag it to a new location. Release the mouse
to drop the image.
As you drop an image into a new location, FotoFinish will ask you
if you want to move or copy the image. Copying will preserve both
the original and the new location of the image. Moving an image deletes
the image from the old location and preserves only the new location.

If you already know you just want to copy an image, hold down
the Ctrl key as you drag it to a
different location. You can turn off the Move File prompt by clicking on
Don't show this prompt again on the dialog or by unchecking
Prompt when moving files in the Options dialog under the Edit menu.
