Sometimes I rearrange my libraries and create new ones, during which all the titles have to rescan, reimport metdata and artwork. Wouldnt it be better if you could move database references including metadata and assosiated files with a title/s to another library and then automatically move the file to the new libraries assosiated primary folder. When moving a handful of titles its not a big deal but when you are moving hundreds if not thousands its a laborious task. ---

There’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option to move items between libraries of the same type. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’ve missed some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate. > [@\[Feature Request\] Moving media between libraries without losing metadata using UI](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-moving-media-between-libraries-without-losing-metadata-using-ui/587567): > > Yes, there is a [How To](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-plex-database-modification-moving-media-the-right-wrong-way/126701) and even a [Support Article](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201154537-move-media-content-to-a-new-location/) but both don’t always work (especially keeping edited metadata) - or require many manual steps. Judging from the years of support requests/questions about this topic, there’s enough interest to warrant a renewed look at this. Can’t this be added to the User Interface to make it easier? Pretty please? It will be nice to finally get a feature that makes it easier to manage libraries for a change! # Edit: here’s one more suggestion attempting to address this on a library level. > [@\[Feature request\] I would like a feature to move, separate, combine, or split libraries in Plex via a wizard](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-i-would-like-a-feature-to-move-separate-combine-or-split-libraries-in-plex-via-a-wizard/687213): > > Reasoning: As my Plex library grows I would like the ability to rearrange the contents via a wizard that is easy and keeps all of the custom settings that have accumulated in the database for these items (what’s been watched, custom posters, collections, sort titles, and items I had to manually match).
