HOW DO I MOVE FILES CURRENTLY IN USE IN FCPX FROM DESKTOP TO THE ACTUAL FOLDER

Ok - so I have some JPEGS that were actually on the desktop being used in a current project. What I would like to do is moves these jpegs into the actual Event Folder. Is there an easy way of doing this? Or will I need to bring in all the JPEGS into the folder and bring them back to the timeline?

This is from the FCPX Help Menu. You can search 'consolidating' to view the help page.

Consolidate projects, events, and libraries

In the course of creating a project, you might use media files from a variety of locations, including your local computer and external storage devices. If the media used in a project, an event, or a library is located in multiple folders or on multiple hard disks, you can consolidate all the media in one location (on one hard disk).

You can copy the media into the library file, move it from a library to an external folder, or move it between two different external folders. This process facilitates archiving and makes it easier for others to access the media (using shared storage, for example).

The Consolidate command follows these rules:

When you consolidate files out of a library to an external folder, the files are moved.

When you consolidate files into a library from an external folder, or from an external folder to another external folder, the files are copied.

These rules prevent broken links from other libraries.

Note: If the media is already external, and no other libraries are using it, you can manually delete the original media after consolidating to save storage space.

Collect the source media files for a library, an event, or a project in one location
If you don’t see the Libraries list, click the button at the bottom-left corner of the Browser.

Libraries list button

To select files to consolidate, do one of the following:

Select a library in the Libraries list.

Select one or more events in the Libraries list.

Select an event in the Libraries list, and then select one or more projects in the Browser.

Choose File > Consolidate [item].

In the window that appears, confirm the library file to consolidate the files into, or use the pop-up menu to choose a folder on any connected hard disk.

Click OK.

Final Cut Pro consolidates the media to the location you selected.

If a message appears stating that there is nothing to consolidate, all of your media files are already consolidated at one location, on one disk.

If the jpegs are already in your library and in use in the project and you see them in your browser, couldn't you just create a new event in that library re-name event jpegs or photos, and the just drag the jpegs from browser window to new event?

Making a new Event and moving files still keeps them inside the Library, so the goal isn't achieved. Consolidating is the way to go.
