Hi,  
I like the feature of selecting some files and folders and place them all in one folder.  
But it happens a lot that I want to do this with several groups of files and folder that happened that they all exists on the same folder.  
So if I selected the first group of files and folder and right clicked them and selected New Folder With Selection, every time it places them all in a folder titled New Folder With Items and gave it a name ended with incremented number like 1, 2 ...etc  
So is it possible to have an option or a feature like a pop up or anything else when I click on the New Folder With Items that allow me to give the new created folder a NAME.  
Something that like when I create a folder(s).  
Thanks

**New folder with selection** is probably not an Opus command (Teracopy?) and might be difficult to change.

You could instead use a button or a context menu with

```
Copy MOVE HERE CREATEFOLDER="{dlgstring}"
```

Thanks a lot for replying me.  
I am sorry, I mean _ **New Folder With Items** _  
Where exactly to place the command you mentioned?  
Also is it possible to add this command to the right click menu that appear when I right click items?  
Thanks

Is it possible to add this command to the end of the new folder drop down menu from the toolbar? ![2020-12-19_10-59-57](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/4/94b1f64ab3c82257544172b8c1cfb249063a2062.png)

Thanks a lot.  
I've added it to the exact place where I need it to be.  
Also made it set to hide if nothing selected.

Thanks

When I select anything.

Within Opus, push F1 to open the manual, then type `dlgstring` into the Search tab on the left, and click the first result.

If I would like to add a short cut to this action command, how do I do so?  
The shortcut I want to use is:  
Ctrl+Alt+N, I mean to press the three keys simultaneously.

In your screenshot, "Click here to assign a hotkey".
