sha256sum, issues

Post by chazb »

(Preparation

1. Create a directory called "ISO" in your home directory.

2. Move the ISO image you downloaded in this directory.

3. Download the following files (right-click -> Save As...) and move them into the "ISO" directory.)

This is from the instructions for verifying the ISO image. My question is, how to move the ISO image t my newly created ISO folder. I the drop down list there is no option to "move" except to trash.

There are multiple ways to move the file.
1) in Nemo you can enable the "Move" context menu command:
move.png
Then you can open the Extra Pane by pressing F3, navigate to the ISO file on the left pane, navigate to the ISO directory on the right pane, right-click on the ISO file and choose "Move to -> Other Pane".

2) You can open two panes, or two Nemo windows, one with the file and one with the ISO directory, and drag/drop the ISO file into the ISO directory. This will most likely copy the file, not move it. You can delete the older copy.

3) You can use a terminal command:

Code: Select all

mv /path/to/the/ISO/file.iso /path/to/the/ISO/directory
For example:

Code: Select all

mv /home/spamegg/Downloads/linuxmint-20.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso /home/spamegg/ISO

And yet another option is to right-click on the file and select 'Cut', then right-click on the ISO directory and select 'Paste into folder'.

I would default to what dave0808 said with the cut/paste as I kind of assume this is the default/standard thing just about everyone uses when moving or copying files to random folders in the file manager.
