Collect items

[serendipity]

I know drop stacks is coming sometime later, but I would find something simple implemented to collect list items and paste them all in one place. As I understand, the way it is now one cannot append clipboard with items. Any new copy command erases old clipboard list.
For example like we have "copytext <text>, a", could we have "copy <curitem/s>,a"?

There are possibilities:
(1) use a temp catalog category; collect your stuff there; then do "Copy All Items in Category"

(2) collect the names on clipboard using "copytext <text>, a"; then paste into the List management / Files on Clipboard / Editor mode. This will put the files on clipboard in Copy mode (not Cut). Then you can ctrl+v them anywhere.

CopyAppend (and CutAppend?) is a good thing however. Should be added...

Last night I wanted to hand pick some of my old photos from different folders to make an album and wished if XY could offer a simple way to do this. I was aware about the two points you mentioned before but then was too lazy to do it first. If I had CopyAppend then I can assign one key for that command and followed by ctrl+v would be much simpler. Ofcourse finally I went the catalog way.
Thanks for considering.
