Is it possible to add a folder that is not included in the database to your favorites? I frequently copy versions of files to folders that I do not want to catalog. I was able to do this via the quick copy in 3.6. 3.6 would ask if you wanted to index the folder.
So far the only way I know to do this in 5 is via ctl-C, go to the folder in windows and , ctl-V.
I would much rather hit a favorite button.
Favorites only work on in-database objects.
The renamer allows you to copy files to a folder without adding the folder to the database.
You can also add a renamer preset to your favorites, so perhaps this can be configured to do what you want.
Thanks, I'll check out that idea.....
Unfortunately, the renamer idea did not work. The files I am trying to copy are versions that also have a buddy relationship to their masters.
The renamer will not perform the operation on the buddy files even though nothing is being renamed, and the folder I am copying them to will not even be in the database.
That is a pity....
Although it makes sense that buddy files can not be renamed, it would break the file relation.
Now one could argue if copying a buddy to a location outside the database requires the renaming protection......
Hopefully Mario monitors this discussion and share his thoughts.
Maybe this is something for a feature request?
I generally use drag and drop for this kind of thing, but something internal to IMatch would be useful. I'd support a feature request.
(Actually, I also have a script that does this, but it's not designed for the general case.)

I too made myself a script to copy files to external (outside IM) folders.
It asks for the location of the folder.
Still missing is a Most Recently Used option.
I attach it here in case someone likes to use it.
