Sorry, was just upgrading to 2008 beta (from earlier 2008).

Yea your main problem was entering 'combo' into a combo... just enter rm... but rm means remove/delete.

If you dont mind using xterm and want to keep files then just change to home directory by typing cd ~
Then you can type ls to find directory
Then type mv /home/user/dirname /media/mmc2

Splicer method only tries to make it easier by letting you pick files. It only easily works for your purpose for deleting the files not moving them.

If you hate xterm heres more info on splicer methods :

You can either pick every file in directory and delete one at a time (but to do that you only enter the single command rm into the combo box before clicking run) or you could try to move the whole directory by picking a file and then remove the trailing /filename.mp3 from the file name before adding rm to combo and hitting run.

You can also hack it to move the directory by adding a destination dir to the filename text box (like /home/user/myalbum /media/mmc2) and type mv command in combo to move instead of rm for remove)

But if your going through all that trouble you might as well use xterm.
