Is it possible to get a function where I can highlight multiple directories/files and then hit a menu option to move them all into a new folder in the folder they're currently in that I choose the name of?
example:
Highlight files, right click, choose "Sink into folder named...", dialog pops up asking for name of folder, enter folder name, folder is created, files get moved into it?
That's just a rudimentary overview of the idea; if there's a better way to do it (make folder, move files, rename folder, etc) that's fine too. Just trying to be able to sink multiple selections into a new folder.
Copy MOVE HERE CREATEFOLDER="{dlgstring|Enter name of new folder}"
And here is the button if it's more convenient (just enter Customize mode and drag & drop the downloaded file onto your Opus toolbar): Move into new Folder.dcf (383 Bytes)
Awesome, that seems to work pretty well, thank you!
The only issue I've got is that if there is already a folder named the same as one of the selections it throws an error that it can't move a folder into itself.
Try this. It doesn't care if a folder name already exists.

@set dir={dlgstringS|Enter name of folder to move selection into|{file|noterm|noext}}
Copy MOVE TO="{sourcepath$}" CREATEFOLDER="{$dir}"
Is there a built-in Opus function to check for name existence, or would the best way be to just say name={time}temp{time}, createfolder=name, move everything then rename name into {dialogresult}?
I'm sure the odds of there being an existing folder named after 2 timestamps with temp in the middle is probably lottery winning level stuff, but I'd prefer to do things in the most legit & safe way possible so if anybody else needs it it will be safe for them too, haha.
