Feature Request: Merge Folders/Documents

Laserfiche Feature Ideas

Updated April 29

posted on January 27, 2022

This is a fairly minor thing, but I've been doing some clean up in one of my repositories and realized a Merge option could be really handy.

What I'm envisioning is some kind of "Merge" option in a right-click menu when you have multiple folders or documents selected.

When selected, you could:

Choose what name to use (from one of the selected or edit)
Chose what template/fields to keep
etc.

Probably need an extra confirmation message at the end to warn the user before actually doing the merge, but it could save a lot of time and would be less prone to error than drag-and-drop.

I realize this is an old thread but I'd just like to tentatively add my vote for this feature. Tentatively, because while it seems like there are situations where it could be an incredibly useful tool, it also seems like it might be a dangerous thing to do. Merging two top folders with complex folder structures underneath and possibly a certain number of files with the same names could create quite a mess. It would not be for the feint of heart, I think.

This feature would be a life saver when trying to move large sets of data. I currently have 6,000+ folders to move into an existing folder structure and because they have the same names I have to go through them 1-by-1. It's over 100GB of data, so briefcasing the data isn't the easiest option either.
