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
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.
