Hi,
MediaPortal had a small but cool feature to move files within the video library from one folder to another.
This was a simple menu entry "Move" which applied to the currently selected file. This entry changed to "Paste here" afterwards.
Little feature, huge improvement ...
Would love to see this in Myth!

Re: Move files in video library
This is a great idea and not very difficult to implement!
Re: Move files in video library
It's complicated by the fact that we don't actually display the filesystem structure, but rather we display a metadata-generated view that happens to mirror the fileystem structure. This ability would have to be disabled when using other metadata generated views, or would involve a whole lot more programming if it were to become a means of manipulating the metadata, besides the current direct entry, in the other views.
Re: Move files in video library
I think no one would complain if this feature would only be available in the file system emulated view. This also makes kind of sense for intuitive usage - if this would be displayed in a view grouped by some metadata like e. g. artist this would be confusing.
