Paste into file's folder

[John_gr]

Hello David,

thank you very much for developing Everything.I have been using it for several years now and I love it. I would like to suggest the following feature:

Let's say I already have a set of related files stored in the same folder. The filenames of these files are partially the same. I now download a new file that should be stored with these files (filename again partially the same). By default the new file will be downloaded to my Downloads folder.

If I search using the common part of the filename, Everything will return results in both locations. What I want to is to right click in the new file --> Cut or Copy --> Select one of the files in the other location --> Paste into file's folder (or how else you name this feature).

Essentially a faster way to move and organize files into folders.

What are your thoughts on that?

Best Regards,
John

I already have a set of related files stored in the same folder

And Everything can open that folder, by double-clicking on the folder name.

[A] new file will be downloaded to my Downloads folder.

And as pointed out, Everything sees that too.

So with the "common" folder opened (Windows Explorer, opened from Everything), you can drag that newly downloaded file into that opened common folder.


Otherwise, there are some file/folder "sorting" utilities out there that might work, or maybe you can automate something (batch file or AHK or similar) to do something similar?

A "Paste to the file path" context menu item, it's on my TODO list, thanks.

I'm surprised I couldn't find any existing third party tools to do this already.
