Moving files into a subfolder, and needing to scroll

[janeha]

This is my 'situation'. I have many files on the server, in the root directory. Once a week I need to move some of those files into a subfolder. The subfolder is named archive, and the files can start with the letter z.

I use "Sort Folders first" to group them at the top of the server pane. I select the 'z' files. I then need to scroll the pane up the to the archive folder at the top. In other FTP clients, dragging the selected files off the top of pane causes the window to scroll so that the needed folder comes into view. YFTP doesn't seem to be able to do that.

Another way I thought would work would be to reverse the A-Z sort, to place the z files near the folders. But the folder don't stay at the top; they sort to the bottom along with the a files...

Possible enhancements to add?

Or does anyone have an idea how to accomplish this task?

Man, it always happens!. As soon as you post it, you find the solution - use the filter - for browsing, don't apply to folders, exlcude files which do not start with z...

Glad you found what you were looking for!

Scrolling with a selection should work anyway. It is just a bit fussy.
If you drag the selection off the top (or bottom) of the list nothing happens -- you have to have your cursor JUST below the top (or just above the bottom) of the list for the list to scroll. This is the same as in the Finder.
My preference would be to have scrolling when the cursor is clearly above or below the list, as finding that critical position is awkward.

Yummy uses an Apple-provided list view. It's the same one the Finder uses, and as such I have no real control over it, at least not at that level.
