Lisa File Mover 1.0 — moving the files the Lisa desktop can't see
A small native Office System tool: it lists, copies, renames and deletes files that have no desktop icon — Workshop sources, .PIX pictures, BBSLIST.TEXT and the like — between any two mounted disks, floppies included. No Workshop needed. Keyboard-driven (numbers plus S/D to pick source and destination, L to list, N/P to page), with a Help menu inside the tool.
Tested on a Lisa 2/10 and the LisaFPGA under LOS 3.1. Install by mounting the floppy image and dragging or duplicating the tool icon to your hard disk.

LisaFileMover 1.1
A quick follow-up to 1.0: three additions, all keyboard-driven like the rest of the tool.
Tool Sets (T) lists every tool's file set on a disk — number, the name read from its label, file count and size — and Copy Tool Set copies a set's files and labels to another disk. It's an archive copy: the tool isn't registered on the target Desktop, and the note afterwards says how to do that cleanly (InstallTool, or a Desktop drag from a disk that shows it).
Marks: M marks a file, A marks everything listed, Apple-B copies all marked files in one run, and Delete Marked removes them in one run.
An ending filter (E) lists only names ending .PIX, .TEXT and so on — E .PIX, A, Apple-B moves a whole picture pack to a floppy in one go.
Tested on the LisaFPGA and a 2/10 under LOS 3.1. To upgrade, mount the image and drag or duplicate the tool onto your hard disk over 1.0.
