[REQ] Organize Files - add a check box to "move or copy all accompanying files" [#21439]
In the "Organize Files" popup, option is selected, can you please add a check box to "also move or copy all accompanying files", to give us the ability, after the organize is complete (move or copy) to by-pass the "Accompanying files" popup that states "the following accompanying files were found" and asks you to "select those you would like to move".

Ludek,
I read your notes in https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=21439
It is worth mentioning, that I found if I have either or these two options checkboxed or not in Options...General...Confirmation:
- Confirm desired options on copy of Library folders
- Confirm desired options on move of Library folders
Both of those seem completely only related to moving or copied folders within the library via drag/drop and have nothing to do with the "Organize Files" dialog / process, which will always popup "the following accompanying files were found" and asks you to "select those you would like to move/copy".
Maybe adding "move/copy copy accompanying files" to the "Organize Files" popup dialog is appropriate? Right now that popup dialog only has two checkboxes "Delete emptied folders" and "Trim long paths/filenames".

Thanks for the info! You're right those options only affect drag/drop in the library, not the "Organize Files" dialog. Adding a "move/copy accompanying files" checkbox to that popup would make it clearer and easier to manage. Good idea!

Are you saying that disabling this checkbox does not prevent the confirmation dialog to be shown (despite it is background auto-organize or manual) ?
