It would seem that the end user has no idea what "cut" means. I never have to "go back to the original directory to delete the originals". That is what "cut" is for.

Besides, as other comments pointed out, one can make a multiple selection, and then, in conjunction with "cut", it will work exactly like the feature described at the end. 🤷‍♂️

I use material files and when you press the cut icon, it literally says "move to" while you are selecting the destination

That's not what they are requesting.

They are requesting a context menu option, no? And the ability to move multiple items?

The context menu would literally say "Move To"/"Copy To" and open either a further drop-down with potential destinations: ... or a pop-over dialogue something like this:

Originally Windows pointed this feature to users' Downloads, Pictures, and Documents Folders, but as you can infer from the screenshots, the menu was configurable.

I do not need and probably wouldn't impliment this feature in a mobile file manager app, but I would be telling the OP I just don't want to do it because its my app with my aesthetic/sensibilities in mind, NOT gaslighting/trolling them that its already implimented.

Well i don't think they are trolling i imagine they legitamately don't realize that is what the poster is wanting. It's not very clear

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

That's my initial impression as well, but it also seems that they just don't care, and will refuse to until its made clear to them just what a bad look this is, and nothing short of an accusation of impropriety has done the trick yet.

I doubt english is their first language, but more importantly, it seems like there's a culture disconnect versus mainstream western pr bullshit ... which actually serves a useful purpose for once, in this instance.
