IDEA: move/copy files and folders via context menu

(1/3) > >>

Pareidol:
Another idea to improve the windows context menu.

From time to time I sort my "Downloads" folder or any other folder and the stuff needs to go to specific folders.
It would be nice to have a context entry "move to" and then select a predefined target folder from a list.

I found a good start for that in another forum tenforums
But there they have some minor issues (some say it just works for files and not for folders, others say it doesn't move a complete folder, just the contents.
And it would be nice to easily add and remove that menu entry and have a gui with folder selector for the target, set a nicname for the target and add separators.

Similar to that example picture:

Great idea! This should be doable with a GUI for adding sub-items + registry edits.

...Let me ponder a bit about the best way to go for us to tackle this after "Copy image" menu :Thmbsup:

Cheers!

I assume the main use will be move to but maybe keep in mind also add the possibility for a copy to menu.

Sure, no hassle  ;)
I often come up with such ideas. I can do a little bit of coding (mainly AHK and C#) but often it's just too big for me.
Great that you grabbed directly both of my ideas  :up:

If they are done I have another great Idea on my sketchbook, that waits for a coder  :D
