Moving pictures from one collection to another in Nikon PictureProject

I'd like to be able to move a set of selected pictures from one collection to another
in Nikon Picture Project. Since it's a MOVE, not a COPY, I want the picture not
to be in the source collection after the move. If I do Shift while I drag the pictures to
the new collection, sometimes they all disappear from the old collection like they should,
and sometimes only the first one disappears (though they all end up in the new colection).

There's got to be some magic incantation that will consistently move them.

Try using Windows Explorer instead.

Or Picasa (http://picasa.google.com). I use Nikon Picture Project to
load my pictures onto my computer because I like its folder creation
auto-renaming capability. However, I use Picasa to organize them.

In Windows Explorer, right-click and drag the files to where you want them,
you then have an option menu asking if you want to move or copy.

Thanks, Ed. As the OP. you are quite right. Unfortunately, PP does not use
operating system "folders" (file system directories) for PP folders. So they
need to be moved with PP.

I CAN do that, but it's error-prone. I've got 400 pictures on a variety of subjects
in my "Inbox" collection. They are in a mixed up sequence in the Inbox (cuz that's
they way they got taken). It's error-prone to select a set, drag them, come back,
and select the SAME set to delete.

I'm on the latest, downloaded shortly before posting here.

Next step is Nikon technical support.

I ran some more experiments. Shift and drag does a move MOST of the time. It
works fine if you did Ctrl-Click to select the images one at a time and they are all
on one page, but if you did Shift-Click to select a sequentail range of images, when
you start the drag, all but the first image get unselected. And if the images are on
more than one page, there are problems I haven't fully puzzled out, but they results
some images ending up in both the source and destination.
