Script Request - Move Into New

[SkyFrontier]

I'd like to suggest a script to:
-ask user which name the new folder will have
-create the new folder
-move previously selected items into the new folder.

(very) useful for laptop users, who in a single CKS can eliminate the hassle of dragging files with touchpad.
Thanks!

If when you say new folder you mean new subfolder, XY already does that, no script required: Open Tools|CKS and look up for Miscellaneous / File Operations / Move Here to New Subfolder...

And for more, I'm pretty sure the Edit|Move To will take care of it, it does support (new) subfolder or relative paths, date templates...

...wow... and I thought about suggesting that as a feature...
Thanks much for the heads up, Jacky - that's EXACTLY what I wanted...
"Move to" is useful for its ability to store previous paths, but "Move Here to New Subfolder" is a sure shot.
-why not promoting it into GUI, Don...?
Thanks, folks!

Most people drag. Well, I suppose. But who knows? Anyway, the GUI is so crowded already...

Well... I know it's obvious, but... try to think on sorting stuff on submenus... a bit more... since one CAN CKS everything, that'll be not a problem for experienced users. And newcomers will not feel the swirl they probably feel for the first time they deal with XY menus... It's too much information (I LOVE that - better having thousands of options than the usual limited amount provided by regular tools...) to deal with.
-you forgot to mention Jacky's hint on "Move Here to New Subfolder" -which was the right way to do the thing, right? It happens. You have almost 11 years (since v 3.0, 1999-12-05, that's what I can tell out of History.txt) of improvements, and growing (fast, we must add!). Things must be there - but not overcrowding. I believe it's a fight for you to keep the balance right...
Anyway, congrats for everything! All in all, it's the best tool I have found so far (except the lack of... well... you know... ) and will stick to it, promoting it as much as I can.

No, you did not ask for new subfolder, you asked for new folder.

Right... I'll take that...
