Nested folder/file creation shortcut

Post by noembryo »

Not some game changing feature, just a thought I had the other day that might save us some clicks here and there..

When creating a new folder (or file) and name it using the "\" character (or the "/" one), instead of getting a "Bad filename" error dialog, it would be nice if a relevant path was created.
E.g. The "Parent dir\inner dir\new text.txt" name in a new file in "D:\", should create a new "D:\Parent dir" folder, that contains a "D:\Parent dir\inner dir" folder, that contains the "D:\Parent dir\inner dir\new text.txt" file.
Naming a new folder "New folder\New subfolder", should create a new "D:\New folder" folder, that contains a "D:\New folder\New subfolder".

And since we are wishing things, if this feature is possible with the creation of new folders/files, it would be also helpful if we could rename an existing folder/file and move it to a subfolder.
E.g., If the "D:\file text.txt" is renamed to "extra folder\file text.txt", a new "extra folder" folder should be created and the "file text.txt" should be moved inside it, etc.
