• In the File List pane, select one or more files, and then click Edit | Copy To Folder or Move To
Folder.
• While viewing an image or media file in the Viewer, click Edit | Copy To or Move To.
2 In the Copy Files or Move Files dialog box, do one of the following:
• Select the Folders tab, and locate the folder on your hard drive where you want to place the
files.
• Select the History tab, and select a folder from the list of recently-accessed folders.
3Click the Overwriting duplicate files drop-down list and select one of the following options to
specify how ACDSee should handle overwriting files:
• Ask: prompts you for confirmation when overwriting a file.
