Moving files using ecma script in ribbon custom action

Question

I found this nice article about copying files from one location to another FIXED location.

However this copies but not moves, I can't find any documentation about moving files using ecmascript, but I suppose it should be possible.

Any ideas?

Replace the line of code - File.copyTo(_destinationlibUrl, true);

to

File.moveTo(_destinationlibUrl, true);

It should work.

You need to set operation flag instead of boolean variable as the second parameter. For example

File.MoveTo(_destinationLibUrl, SP.MoveOperations.none);

here's a link to a full list of possible operations:

Try this

File.moveTo(_destinationlibUrl,1);

This is what got it working for me
