Moving/Copying/Duplicating File or Folder

You can move/copy files and folders shown in the Image View area, Filmstrip or [Navigation] palette to another folder or drive.
Also, you can move/copy files and folders from your desktop or Explorer (or Finder in Mac OS) to ViewNX-i by drag-and-drop.
Notes on moving/copying files or folders
Dragging-and-dropping files or folders within the same drive moves them to the destination folder, resulting in deleting them from the source folder. Dragging-and-dropping files or folders to another drive copies them to the destination folder without deleting them from the source folder.
  • To move files or folders to another drive, hold down the "Shift" key ("Command" key in Mac OS) and drag and drop them.
  • To copy files or folders within the same drive, hold down the "Ctrl" key ("option" key in Mac OS) and drag and drop them.
In Mac OS, you can duplicate files or folders in the same folder.
