Moving assets
Assets can be moved within the same library.
In any library in TAO you can move elements to a different folder by dragging and dropping them to the new destination. This is, however, limited to desktop environments.
The Move To button allows you to do this in a different, platform-independent way.
1. Click on the Assets tab. This will take you to your assets library, displayed on the left of your screen. Click on the Move To icon in the button bank under the library.
2. To move a single asset, open the item by clicking on it in the library, then select the folder you’d like to move it to, and click on Move at the bottom of the dialog.
You can also move a whole folder (class) of assets with its entire contents to another location in your assets library. To do this, select the folder in your library which you wish to move.
Next, click on the Move To button in the button bank under the library. Again, a dialog box will appear on the canvas. Select a destination folder and click on Move.
You will see a warning telling you that the properties of the original class will automatically be replaced by those of the destination class. This means that you will lose the metadata used in the original class, so it’s a good idea to check that no vital information will be lost before you move the class to its new location. When you have checked this, click on Ok to continue.
