= oik-batchmove may not be fully functional =
I get a message that says:
*oik-batchmove may not be fully functional*. Please install and activate the required version of this plugin: oik version 2.0

This message is asking you to install and activate the oik base plugin. There should be a link:
 
* Install oik - this means that oik is not installed. Click on the link to download the latest version of oik
* Activate oik base plugin - this means that the oik base plugin is not activated. Click on the link to activate the installed version of oik
* Upgrade oik - this means that the activated version of oik is not at or higher than the required level. Click on the link to update to the latest version of oik

If you do not perform the action then the plugin won't work properly.

= Why do I need oik? =
The oik base plugin provides APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) which deliver 90% of the functionality that makes this plugin work.
oik provides a lot of stuff, which is mostly dormant until you really need it.

= Which version of oik do I need? =
The oik-batchmove plugin is dependent upon oik (v2.0 or higher) for date filter logic

= Are there similar plugins? = 
Yes. This plugin was sponsored by Howard Popeck for Our Listeners Club - for the music loving audiophile
Before developing oik-batchmove I tried these plugins. They didn't satisfy the requirements.
