transfering files between folders of Zotero

odirley
Hello all!
I have one temporary folder in my zotero, which I storage my files while they are read by me. But after that I finish to read them, I would like to transfer them for another folders inside my own zotero. Is there a tool for select all them, copy and paste inside another folder?
I know it is possible select one by one and dragging to another folder, but I would like to try a faster method for doing it.

thanks for you help!

    In the installed Zotero client (either Standalone or Zotero for Firefox), you can select and drag multiple items to move them. You can't do this on the Zotero website.

    Did you mean collection when you said temporary folder? You could also consider using tags to define which articles you would like to read in future, are reading now, and have already read. A step further would be to use colored tags to easily identify, in the middle pane, which articles need attention. Finally, you can create and save advanced searches for such categories, so that when you add or delete a tag, the associated item will automatically "move" to the appropriate search folder.

    Yes gurdas. My library is shared in some folders, each one about one theme. So I use one specific folder before I read the articles and then I transfer them for other. The "drag" is enough for doing it now. But you are right, the "tags" could be better and easy for organize my library.
    Thanks!!
