Although a registered Newsbin user I used Newsrover mostly and for quite some time (not going into why here) needless to say I have been back in the Newsbin user fold for 7 months now and the feature I miss the most is the ability to select a block of 'files' from a list of downloaded items and move them to a folder elsewhere on the system.
A) I don't want hundreds of 'topic' folders under newsbin that I must enter one at a time to copy the files out of.
B) I don't want to copy to an image database.
C) I don't want to copy to an SBZ file.
I want to select a block of related files from the files list grid and move the entire selection in one go to a folder elsewhere, right now I'm forced to either do 'A' above or to trawl through the download folder trying to tie a filename to a newsgroup download - a royal pain in the posterior.
