Moving photos inside catalog using SDK

[Holkstar]

Hi community,

I would like to move photos inside my catalog using the SDK. I see classes like LrFileUtils but by using them file moves are not recognized by the catalog. Is there any function available to move a photo to another destination like LrPhoto.move(currentPath, newPath) which works in the same way like drag'n drop on the UI?

No, you can't do that - there's no move function. Sure, you can move a file by accessing the folder system, and you can import the moved file, but you can't delete the catalogue's existing reference to the file.
