Move multiple asset in DAM admin

I have a solution for classic UI now. Created custom ExtJs and and a servlet for serverside move.

1. /libs/wcm/core/content/damadmin/actions/  ...added another node for multiple move (

2. libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/SiteAdmin.Actions.js  - added a corresponding function, which basically pops up a dialog for destination and

makes an ajax call to serverside

3. A servelet for moving the actual assets ( does basically a sessio.move() )

Hope it helps.

Let me know if u get any solution for Touch UI . I did not try yet.

This issue is not solved. I am having the same issue –– AEM does not allow me to select multiple assets and move them.

The link provided above (http://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/aem/6-0/author/assets/managing-assets-touch-ui.html#Moving or Renaming Assets) SAYS you can move multiple assets, but it is incorrect. As soon as you choose multiple assets, the move icon disappears from the toolbar.

Could someone please look into this? I've attached screenshots for reference. In the first screenshot, the move icon is in the toolbar. In the second screenshot, the move icon has disappeared.

Can somebody provide any solution pls?

Thanks bsloki,

But for @1 :

I did not get the steps you provided. If I select a folder , how can I unselect some assets?

What I see is , I select single asset and move the sameto other destination .But if I select multiple assets the 'move' action in context menu/toolbar gets deactivated.

Am I missing something?

Hi Sumit,

Through UI, couple of ways to do it.

Goto http://<host>:<port>/damadmin

1. Select the folder under which you want to move multiple asset, unselect the assets which you dont want to move. Give the destination folder and click on 'move'. This creates the respective folder under the destination folder.

2. If you dont want to create the folder and just move the assets, then you can select multiple assets which you want to move 'copy' them, paste it under the destination folder. Later come back and delete the copied assets manually. But this would take multiple steps on it.

Programmatically, you can use 'AssetManager' API to work on the asset level or 'JCR' API to move the nodes directly and save them.

Mainly through UI. But if you could inform both the approaches , would be helpful.

moving programmatically or using damadmin UI ?
