[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 870931, member: 18896"] Aside from the fact that you can secure your watched status via the Trakt and/or Follw.it plugin(s), you can move an imported file between active MovPic import files at anytime. If you move it with MovingPictures open/running, then you just have to make sure that the 'move' action can occur instant. Otherwise the entry in database might get deleted first and then re-added as new. So the safest way to 'move' a file is to do this with MovPic not open/running and use MovPic config as the easiest way to verify that the moved files were detected as such. When you switch to the "Movie Manager" tab, all the movies that had their path location updated will show up in the list via 'red' color so they are easy to spot. You can then select the movie entry and switch to the "File Info" to see the updated path. Moving from "X:\Import-Path" to "X:\Import-Path\2012" can be done by drag-and-drop (or CTRL+X and CTRL+V) instantly, so you can do these moves with MovPic running, but I would advice to do them outside just to be on the safe side (and as usually make a backup of your movingpictures.db3 before you make any big changes like this, so you can undo/restore them easy in the unlikely event something does go wrong). If you are moving from "X:\Folder\Example Movie (2010).avi" to "Y:\2010\Example Movie (2010).avi", then just make sure that "Y:\2010" or "Y:\" is an active import path before you move the file over. And because the move from one drive to another will not exactly be 'instant', do this without MovPic open/running. Enjoy. PS: Test/Try it with like 5 movies first, if that works to your satisfaction, then move them all. PPS: The red list entries inside MovPic config will return to normal color when you close MovPic config and re-open it, so that the list is repopulated. [/QUOTE]
