DONE: Right Click any file and create New Folder by its Name

<< < (2/57) > >>

skwire:
File to Folder it is.  Currently I have it auto-creating the folder name if only one file is selected.  If you select more than one file, a small input box pops up asking for a name.  Type in a name, hit OK, the folder is created and all selected files are moved into that folder. Now, the question is this:

Should I make it so the box pops up even for a single file?  I can pre-populate the input box with the filename so all you would have to do is hit OK (or press Enter ).  This way would give you the option of choosing your own folder name to use even with only a single file.  Thoughts?

paarkhi:
No, not for a single file if you were able to remove hyphens, Hashes and any special character from single File's name, because it increases one key stroke.

Rest depends on you, because you have to see that your program is useful for others also.

N.B.: Sorry forgot to Mention but can you add a Global Keyboard Shortcut to it, so that even a file is selected and if keyboard shortcut pressed then it creates a folder but if it is difficult at this stage then better leave it.

Thanks for all your help.

I'll make the char stripping an option.

There won't be a hotkey for this since it's a shell extension that's designed to be called from the right-click menu, do its business, and exit.  In other words, it doesn't stay resident in memory.

As you wish SIR

Give that a shot and let me know how it goes.  I haven't added in the char stripping yet.  I need to get some sleep so I'll pick this up later tonight.

1) After registering the shell extension, you will see a new menu entry in
   your context menu.  The context menu is the menu you see when you right
   click a file or files in a file manager such as Windows Explorer.

2) If you have selected only one file and choose 'Files 2 Folder' from the
   menu, the following will happen:
      1) A folder will be created that is the same name as the file you
         selected.
      2) Your selected file will then be moved into that folder.
     
3) If you have selected multiple files and choose 'Files 2 Folder' from the
   menu, the following will happen:
      1) A box will pop up asking you to enter a folder name.  Enter a name
         and click OK or simply press Enter.
      2) A folder will be created using the name you specified.
      3) All selected files will then be moved into that folder.
