moving media files between solutions

Classic Servoy
1

I have a parent solution A and a module B. I want to move media files from A to B because B is a ‘core module’ that is used by other solutions and I want those media files to be available to those other solutions.

When I try to import solution A’s media files (the first of which is called add.png) into module B I am told I can’t because “The name add.png already exists as a media file”.

What’s the proper procedure for moving media files out of a parent solution and into one of its modules?

Thank you for your help.

I don’t know what the proper procedure is but why don’t you copy the media folder on your workspace (workspace/project/medias), delete the media you don’t want in your module anymore and copy the media from the filesystem to your parent solution.

In Servoy 4.2 forms/relations/valuelists/media can be moved/duplicated. In 4.1 this works only for forms; so it can only be done as Marcel suggests for media.
