right click -> new folder with selected items

Post by cyquil »

One of my favourite features from Mac OS X / Finder is the ability to select a bunch of files and then right click and choose "new folder with selected". It's quite handy. I would love to see this feature in xyplorer!

You could already achieve that by using a custom event action (middle click on file) with a script...

Code: Select all

$items = <get SelectedItemsPathNames>;
    end (!$items), "No item(s) selected, aborted!";

    $folder = input("Enter a new folder name...", , "New Folder");
    if ($folder) {
        moveto $folder, $items, , 2, 2;
    }

What is wrong with just right dragging your selection and on release in the same folder select "Move here to new subfolder"?
