Moving files between folders

I feel like this is probably a dumb question but regardless, I don't know the answer and my eyes will start bleeding if I keep trying anymore. How do you move files between folders? Dolphin's layout (unless I'm not figuring it out, which is probably the case) doesn't seem to let you drag from one folder to another and there's no other pane to see another folder to drag to. I have an mp3 file in my download folder that I want to move to my music folder but I can't get it to move. Any help on this would be most appreciated.

And sure enough I just figured it out. Nevermind.

Re: Moving files between folders

Just for reference (since you've figured it out): I know of four ways to move files between folders using Dolphin...

1. Have more than one Dolphin window open, or more than one part to the window (use the "Split" button), then drag and drop.
2. Open a new tab (middle-click), drag the file to the tab then to the right folder when the view switches.
3. Right-click the file, select Cut (or Copy); navigate to the destination then right-click and select Paste.
4. Right-click the file, select "Move to" (or "Copy to") and use the menus that pop up.

To get method (2) to work nicely, you might need to check "Open folders during drag operations" under Settings -> "Configure Dolphin..." -> Navigation.

To get method (4), you will need to check "Show 'Copy to' and 'Move to' commands" under Settings -> "Configure Dolphin..." -> General and the "Context Menu" tab.
