New folder with items ... I want to be able to give it a name

Help & Support
1

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

Thanks

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".
