My Library folders - Bulk moving tokens to folder?

So I've uploaded a few thousand images.  I created a folder first, but they would not upload into that folder. So how do I bulk move them into the folder without having to move them one by one? CTRL and SIFT select dont seem to multiselect. Selecting a dozen at a time from the pop up window doesnt work. Is there a tool I can use to move them?

Hi Namocaw! The way the Art Library functions trips up a lot of people at first. You said you tried "Selecting a dozen at a time from the pop up window" did not work. I'm assuming that means the folder view floating palette. Do you mean they did not appear in the folder, or they did not disappear from "Uploaded Files"? Files will never disappear from "Uploaded Files". It's where they actually live. When you move a file into a folder, you are really just putting a pointer into a folder that references the actual file*. There is a filter button at the top of Uploaded Files that hides files that have been put into folders. However, there have been reports that this filter has been acting quirky lately. Please double check the filter, and also verify that the sub folder you chose doesn't actually contain those file pointers. If stuff is not actually filing, you might want to post some screen shots, or file a  Help Center Request . *This is actually the way all filing systems behave, but Roll20 doesn't hide it as well
Yes, in    the folder view floating palette.  The files show up there, but when I select and copy paste, or select and drag, they don't move.

A couple of points to consider: 1. Copy/Paste is not a thing here. You can drag, tag, rename, or delete, IIRC. 2. If you drag to a folder, you may not see a change, depending on what folder is being displayed in the palette. If the folder is displaying "Recent Uploads" you won't see anything disappear, since Recent Uploads (unless the filter is on) will always display all uploaded files. 3. Have you verified that pointers are not being created inside the folder you are dragging to? This is one of those problems that is very hard to diagnose remotely, since you kind of have to be standing over someone's shoulder, watching all the moves.
