1) number of used files (folders with used files are highlighted with agreen background colour)

2) number of pictures in the particular folder

3) number of pictures in the particular folder and all its subfolders

Transfer can be performed by several ways:

• Transfer to new folder - transfers pictures to the new folder
• Copy to new folder - copies pictures to the new folder - pictures then will be both in the original and new folder
• Do not transfer - pictures on disk will not be touched

 Option Change in in data to the new folder ensures an immediate change of the path to the folder in data. After changing the path in data original pictures can be deleted.
