Created attachment 167817 [details] screenshot From all the availabe services for Dolphin from the KDE Store, the one called “Create folder from selected files” (https://store.kde.org/p/1560212) seems to make the most sense as a “general” i.e. “everyone benefits from it”- enhancement. Who doesn’t work with files in a file manager? I think it should be integrated in Dolphin in one form or another.
A KFileItemActions https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/classKFileItemActions.html in dolphin similar to the `copy to` `move to` ones is the way to implementing, using KNewFileMenu::creatDirectory https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/classKNewFileMenu.html
I developed this feature with directory create-copy-paste functions on dolphinmainwindow.cpp. But I don't know which is better, move or copy-paste actions?
Personally, I would prefer "move" - but @bugsie, as the OP, should have a say.
Also is there any shortcut advice for this action?
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/770
(In reply to Ahmet Hakan Çelik from comment #4) > Also is there any shortcut advice for this action? There won't be a way if it is implemented with a KFileItemAction. There is a feature https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260266 for this. This bug is on my radar, on my shortlist of priority bugs (in 3rd position).

The idea behind it is to do 1 simple (common) thing and do it well (fast & effectively), residing in the main (root) menu. For more complex "copy to" and "move to" other locations functionality there is already a context menu available under "Configure Dolphin" -> "Context Menu" -> "Copy to" and "move to" commands. I wrote about it in KDE's Brainstorm section a month ago, here's the link https://discuss.kde.org/t/dolphin-enhance-with-create-folder-from-selected-files/13038 for those who maybe want to participate there.
Git commit d448f4f35d286cae45a62f5a9c1a3be81202f92b by Felix Ernst, on behalf of Ahmet Hakan Çelik. Committed on 23/05/2024 at 13:25. Pushed by felixernst into branch 'master'. Add "Move to New Folder…" action This commit introduces an action which creates a new folder with a name specified by the user and moves all the currently selected items there in one go. This action is implemented as a KFileItemActionPlugin which means users can disable it on Dolphin's context menu settings page.

Git commit 02875a35ae044bebdc695f79446c1605d0ba43ed by Méven Car. Committed on 31/01/2025 at 15:57. Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. Add a Move into new folder Drag'nDrop plugin This should be very convenient for users, saving clicks when organizing files. Implemented as a plugin, so we can later allow to disable it at runtime. This also simplify implementation. {width="722" height="608"} Only implemented for local files for now.
