Hi

From time to time I want to move files from the selects folder in a session to a completely different directory (and disk).
If I do this in Capture one with dragging to the new folder the files are copied. Is there a way to move them?

  Try this.
  
  Create the new folder and then make it the Selects folder of choice.
  
  (Note, although C1 will set up a default "Selects" folder named "Selects" you shoul be able to make any folder your current "Selects " (virtual) folder.
  
  Then in the original folder use to the Move to Selects feature.
  
  It's not something I have tried recently but I think it should work.

  I often move things from one session to another that way, to get them from my laptop to my desktop. The "move to selects" command (Cmd-J on a Mac, so presumably Ctrl-J on Windows) will always move files, not copy them, even if the target session is on a different drive from the source session. So if I want to move say files that are "selects" and output files (typically JPGs) I open the target session. Then I navigate in the library tab "system folders" tool to the folder in the source session and select all the raw files I want to move. I then hit Cmd-J and C1 moves them (not copies) to the target selects folder. To move the JPGs from the source session output folder, I select the files and again hit Cmd-J. That of course moves them to the target Selects folder, not the target output folder. But it is simple enough matter then to sort the target selects folder by file extension (or to filter it by file type) and drag the JPGs to the target output folder. That way, within the same session, they get moved not copied.
