Move / Copy difficulty with favorites

Featured Replies

@Javi

I have a favorite that is located in a particular favorites folder. 

I would like to also have the same favorite located on my main home favorites screen.

I have tried to use "Move to Favorites Folder" command.  After selection, I navigate back to my main fav folder. At the top PASTE and CANCEL appear. 

However they are not "clickable" as they are underneath the favorites that are there.  

If I try to use the Copy Command, there is no subsequent paste option when I switch fav screeens. 

thanks.

FYI.

You can make a copy of your existing favorite, which makes a copy at the same location. Then use move favorite to relocate the copy to the screen of your choosing, providing that folder is on the same screen.

Have you tried creating a new Favorite on your home main screen?

In my setup, my favorite screen contains folders for both of my locations, so I can move them wherever.

Maybe I am not understanding what you are trying to do.

My take is you have a Favorites (main) page with tiles(?) and folders. You have a tile inside a folder on your main Favorites page that you want to duplicate AND have it on your main Favorites page.

Is that correct?

I just tried the above and it worked fine.

If my understanding is correct, this is how I did it:

Go to the folder that has the tile you want to duplicate.

Select the 3 dots in upper right corner of the tile.

Select copy Favorite.

Select the 3 dots of the tile you just duplicated.

Select Move to Favorites Folder.

At top of screen you will see a Paste and Cancel buttons, above that you will see an arrow that will take you up a level to your main Favorite page. Select that arrow.

When you are on the main page, select paste.

yes that is exactly what I am trying to do .

If you go back and re-read  my first post, look at the screen shot.. I CANNOT select paste, because it is "under" the existing tile on the page.. clicking it only clicks the tile. 

Cant execute the PASTE.

Interesting, are you on Android or iOS? Check to see if you have your screen zoomed past 100%, or if you have screen display set higher.

If you are willing to try something, create a new tile and for Type select empty, for span select 4. This should create an invisible tile, creating a blank space.

Select edit and the empty tile should be visible. Click on the tree dots of the empty tile and select Move Favorite.

Move the empty tile to the top row and save.

Try to use the paste command again.

If nothing works, suggest you open a UD support ticket.

Didn’t work. 
I can place the empty tile on top but the paste command is still under that tile as well 

same for even trying to hit the disable edit mode pop up 

 

iOS.  Nothing special about screen size. 
 

Will try rebooting the phone and see what happens

Action buttons will be shown above favorites in next update.  Bug introduced when we added transparent (scroll through) navigation and tab bars.
