Paper folder with Recently moved files

Is it possible achieve that via script, or make something similar. I often move files from my default download folder, to other folders, and if I want to see these files later, needs to browse many folders, or perform search. It is slow, sometimes. I want if it possible, after files has been moved, to see these files in one place (Paper folder, or some list).
Thanks

File operations are stored in the <xydata>\action.dat file. Unfortunately this is a binary one so you can't "just read it" and store it's contents in a paper folder. Afaik the action log isn't exposed internally to any script command so I guess you're out of luck here...

You might find the
Edit > Recent File Operations... command useful.

Recent File Operations...
Pops a menu by which you can apply recent file operations (Copy and Move) to the currently selected files, using the same operation and target path as recently. The menu draws its data from the Action Log and is organized in two sections:
- Section 1: Recent file operations from here, chronologically ordered from youngest to oldest (up to 10).
- Section 2: recent file operations from elsewhere, chronologically ordered from youngest to oldest (up to 10).
Copy and Move operations are mixed, Move is indented for clearer distinction.
Tip: Hold CTRL to go to the selected target path (instead of repeating the file operation).
Note: There is a toolbar button available with the same name and functionality.
Shortcut: Alt+F7

Many thanks, highend and TheQwerty.
I will use "Recent file operations" list with Ctrl, to go to the target path. It is very useful for me.
Thanks again
