Move a folder

how likely is it to make the option to move an entire folder to a newly made category? The only option is single moves, if you know anything about me..... doing one thing at a time puts me in a straight jacket. Luckily I have one. 😛

The way I would bulk move products to a new category

1 - Rename the category/folder so the majority of products is already in the 'new' one.

2 - Select the ones I didn't want in there then Bulk Actions drop down (top right hand side) - Set Store Category to another category and move them

3. Wait until the indexing happens as we all know we have to be patience with any backend changes.

You could have a few folders already set up as 'spares' so that you can just rename/unhide/add a cover image and be ready to populate with products. If they're hidden and no image - they only appear in your backend and not in your store front maybe?

Good luck!

I was just hoping to click the folder, had a drop down folder that says "move to" like so easy I could sleep thru it. LOL
