After you’ve selected one or more thumbnails, you can move them to any
location in the same catalog or in a different catalog. The next two sections
describe how.

Moving and copying thumbnails

You can move thumbnails within a catalog by selecting and dragging them.
When you drag thumbnails between catalogs, PhotoFlash inserts copies of the
thumbnails in the second catalog.

You can also move thumbnails between catalogs by cutting and pasting them.

Moving or copying thumbnails by dragging

You can drag selected thumbnails either within the same catalog or to a
different catalog. If you are copying thumbnails between catalogs, make sure
both catalog windows are open and visible on your screen.

To move or copy thumbnails by dragging them, first select the thumbnails
(see “Selecting Thumbnails” earlier in this chapter if you need instructions).
Then follow these steps:

1

Position the pointer over one of the selected thumbnails.

2

Drag the selected thumbnails to the location to which you want to move or copy them.

When you drag the pointer between two thumbnails, the vertical line between
them changes to red to indicate where the selected thumbnails will be
inserted if you release the mouse button.

If you drag the pointer slowly toward the right or bottom edge of a window
with active scroll bars, the window scrolls in the same direction.

3

When the pointer is over the location to which you want to move the selected
thumbnails, release the mouse button.

If the new location is in the same catalog, PhotoFlash moves the thumbnails
to their new location in the order you selected them and rearranges the other
thumbnails in the catalog as necessary. If the new location is in a different
catalog, PhotoFlash copies the thumbnails in the order you selected them and
rearranges the other thumbnails in the second catalog as necessary. The
thumbnails remain selected after you move them.
