Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop for Simple Cases
When planning to reorganize your database by moving files between folders or categories, IMatch is here to assist. It offers user-friendly features like copy & paste and drag & drop, making simple file transfers straightforward. See the File Management help topic for more information.
Collating Files from Different Sources
What if you need to gather files from various folders or combine them into a new category? Perhaps you aim to export files from multiple sources or create a photo book using Design & Print with files from specific categories, events, or folders.
One approach is assigning these files to a collection, such as pins or dots, or creating a temporary category for further processing. However, IMatch offers a more visually intuitive solution: the IMatch Clipboard.
The Power of the IMatch Clipboard
The IMatch Clipboard allows you to collate any number of files from diverse folders, categories, collections, events, or person tags. With this tool, moving, copying, assigning, or adding these files to other locations—whether they are different folders, categories, or collections—is a breeze. You can also open them in a Result Window for further processing.

How to Use the IMatch Clipboard
To add files to the IMatch clipboard, simply drag them from any File Window into the Clipboard Panel. You can add any number of files from any number of sources.
To access the IMatch Clipboard, use View > Panels in the main menu.
Clipboard Remembers Your Files
One of the standout features of the IMatch Clipboard is its ability to remember. When you close IMatch, it retains all the files you’ve added to the clipboard. Upon reopening IMatch, your clipboard automatically reloads the last set of files, ensuring a seamless continuation of your workflow.
