Create folder with selected files

[apcamargo]

It wold be very useful if we could select multiples files and have a option to create a new folder with them in the context menu.

This should be pretty straightforward to implement via Contractor

Not sure it would make sense in other places where Contractor actions show up, though. I wouldn't want that in the music player

It doesn't make sense to do this with Contractor since it's specific to Files. Otherwise, like you said, you'd have a "Create folder" option in apps where there is no file management

There is similar to an old launchpad bug and a branch was written implementing it but it was never merged. See https://code.launchpad.net/~jeremywootten/pantheon-files/fix-798470-merge-files-to-folder-by-drag-drop.

Should get a design from @elementary/ux before implementing anything. But I do like the idea of making it easier to create a new folder from files.

This seems reasonable to me. #927 has a screenshot of Nautilus with a reasonable seeming menuitem: "New Folder with Selection (%n items)"
