Query actions

The default action of a query is to display the query results, but you can add further actions by specifying them under the Do part of the query.

Query actions can make the following changes:

Copy or move the displayed elements to another folder
Delete the displayed elements
Add or remove a category to the displayed elements
Set any of the properties of the displayed elements to a value that you specify

By default, the actions are carried out on all the displayed elements when you click Apply Actions in the Query results tab. You can select specific elements among the results, and apply actions only to these elements.
