copy/move to folder

[AlbertArulPrakash]

A powertoy rightclick menu item to copy/move to a different folder.
That would solve a lot of people's problem who save it in desktop and then thinking how to move properly to a specific folder without opening extra explorer etc.

used to have it.

@IndiansIncredible what UI would you want to pop up for moving the folder then?

Have you seen a user go from folder to desktop to folder? Would that user be right click saavy? Would they be saavy to install PowerToys?

I am not sure about the usage of this functionality when power toys were introduced and in vista. I prefer to have it in both file explorer menus and right click. Vista had this functionality It was very useful for me because I typically save documents or images in desktop and then take time to organize. This functionality shouldn't be restricted to folder to desktop to folder.

@IndiansIncredible I misread your initial statement. I thought you said users were using the desktop as a middle ground versus just copying the files directly to the target. This could be part of a "PowerMenu" style thing.

Just copy/cut and paste. Come on...

This is my desktop

How i copy paste the content and clean it. Today, i have something called move.cmd which is below
move.txt

I run this every week to move it. There are many who do differently.

That folder office is again not in desktop. it is in another drive which is hardlinked / symlinked.

Like me there are 1000's of people who save items in desktop before moving to another folder.

In my head this is similar to an e-mail that you can move/copy to a folder. That's standard in almost every app/site I use. (not that I use that many...) Maybe this PowerToy could open the same window as Explorer does (from the ribbon) but just direct?

I agree this needs to go into PowerToys.

There's a registry hack that currently does this:

https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-copy-to-move-to-on-windows-vista-right-click-menu/

It's been available at least since XP.

It still works in Windows 11 but you need to go through an extra click to access it now.
