I thought FC had "New folder with selection" where you could select a bunch of files and ask for them to be collected into a new folder.

I was wrong - apparently I had gained this ability from Windows Power Tools long ago. I use it a LOT curating tons of files.

But it would be great if FC could add this feature.

- Select a bunch of files.
- Right-click and select "New folder with selection" from the context menu.
- FC grabs the files, creates the new folder, and dumps the files into the folder.
- (Ideally) FC adds a step to rename the newly created folder to something apart from "New folder with selection".

That would be sweet.

Perhaps it could be added to Quick operations - move.

Currently the target path must be defined, but if the option to set the current path would be added, then it could work.

Option to "Allow changing target path via popup dialog" is available already.

But it would be great if FC could add this feature.

- Select a bunch of files.
- Use copy or move (F5 or F6) for selected items
- In the copy/move dialog define target folder
if you want the new folder (e.g. myNewFolder) in the current folder of the selected items, define as target: myNewFolder\
if you want the new folder somewhere else, then define the target as e.g.: d:\backup\myNewFolder\
