Hi,

How to move an image from one folder to another programatically using .net and your API? I found this article but it is not for .net

    it is giving error if i do this

    fromPublicId = oldPID, toPublicId = newPID

    I found a working solution

    RenameParams renameParams = new RenameParams(oldPID, newPID)           

    {               

    FromPublicId = oldPID,               

    ToPublicId = newPID           

    };

    Hi @rwahdan,
    To move assets out of a folder:

    • In dynamic folder mode, use the update method with the asset_folder parameter to change the asset's asset folder.
    • In fixed folder mode, use the rename method to change the public ID path (in .NET it's cloudinary.Rename(renameParams);).

    sorry for asking, how to know if I have dynamic or fixed folders? I am creating folders through API.

    Hi @rwahdan,

    In your Media Library, if you click on an asset and check the Summary tab. If the public_id is editable, it means you have Dynamic folders. (cf screenshot attached).

    Hope that helps.

    Hi @rwahdan,

    Yes, it means you don't have Dynamic folders.

    Here is what I tried:

    RenameParams renameParams = new RenameParams()

    {               

    FromPublicId = oldPID,

    ToPublicId = newPID           

    };

    getting error:

    error CS7036: There is no argumen
    t given that corresponds to the required parameter 'fromPublicId' of RenameParams.RenameParams(string, string)

    Hi,

    Please use the first character as lower case like the following:

    RenameParams renameParams = new RenameParams(){ fromPublicId = oldPID, toPublicId = newPID};

    Let me know if there's still an issue.
