I'll find myself sorting files into folders and go through a group of unsorted files and decide, let's say, move all the cat photos to a folder labeled Cats. As I make my way down through a long list I'll be moving files to the same folder over and over in small groups. Is there a way to repeat the last move command?

A button with the command:
COPY MOVE TO=/"your alias"
or
COPY MOVE TO="your folder path"
or
COPY MOVE TO="{dlgstring|Path:}"
The last requires inserting the path every time. A way around this is saving the path and pasting it in when the request appears.

I don't think there is. You could add the "Cats" folder to your favorites, either manually or by enabling SmartFavorites ( **Preferences / Favorites and Recent / SmartFavorites / Enable SmartFavoritesâ„¢ system** ) and then display it in a toolbar or in the folder tree.

Another alternative is to make use of the _File Collection_ feature:
- In the Folder Tree, select **File Collections**
- Right-click and select **New collection**
- Name it something like Organize photos and press ENTER
- Select this collection in the Folder Tree
The _Organize photos_ will be opened in a Lister tab
- Add a folder to the collection:
- Drag the Cats folder to this tab
A dialog appears: "_Do you want to add selected folders to the collection as_
_collection members, or as sub-collections (including all contents)?_"
- Select **Members**
- Repeat for other folders
Now you can SHIFT-drag your photos to the appropriate folder to move them there.
If all photos are sifted, you kan keep the collection for later use or delete it.
To delete a collection, right-click it in the folder tree and select **Delete**
This will delete just the collection and keeps your Cats alive 😉

You might find these useful for selecting files in many different places and then copying or moving them all to one place:

Since Opus can be a dual-pane file manager, you can also keep the destination folder open on the right while you go through folders on the left, selecting and copying/moving things across. The Copy Files button/hotkey will send things from source to destination in one push, without having to use drag & drop or copy and paste.
