My Data Browser have hundreds of waves in the root folder, plus tens of waves in another folder. I am trying to move some waves from that folder to root. I select the waves, and then move the pointer all the way up. It takes a while for 'moving up' since there are hundreds of waves. When this moving takes a little bit long, I find Igor not responding, and then I have to release the pointer, thus I am unable to move the waves. Is there any solution?
If your system appears too sluggish to drag a very large number of waves you should write a short function to accomplish the moving. Here is an example:
Function myMove()
SetDataFolder root:myFolder // set the current datafolder to the source DF
String list=WaveList("*_w", ";", "") // select what you want to move, e.g. waves that end with "_w"
Variable i,numWaves=ItemsInList(list,";")
string wname
for(i=0;i<numWaves;i+=1)
wname=StringFromList(i,list,";") // get the name of the wave
MoveWave $wname,$("root:"+wname) // move it to root and use the original name.
endfor
End
