GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676432
have a way to create a folder with selected items
Last modified: 2012-05-25 21:38:49 UTC
One of my favorite features in another OS is the ability to select a bunch of items and then create a new folder with them in it. Furthermore, it is offered as the default action at the top of the context menu. We offer the ability to open a bunch of things in an app. Which I somehow doubt is often that useful. The action is something like: "New folder with selection (2 items)"

Review of attachment 214518 [details] [review]: Thanks Jon, looks good and works great! The only thing I don't like is the placement of the new action in the UI - we indeed could do better with the "Open With..." part of the context menu, but I feel like this action is a bit out of place as the first one in the menu, and would conceptually belong below among the "Copy/Move/Rename" options. Also, your patch doesn't seem to add this action to the window menu.

Created attachment 214567 [details] [review] Simplify the label text for the new folder and document items Create is really the understood verb here I think. Having a shorter label makes it easier to read and more easily accommodates the longer new folder with selection action.

_("New Folder with Selection (%d Items)" string should have ngettext plural forms.
It is never singular though.
Many languages have different forms for plurals, e.g. different for 2 and different for 3<. There is a page explaining it quite thoroughly on wiki: https://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/DevGuidelines/Plurals
Oh, thanks. Should be fixed now hopefully.
New labels ("New Folders with Selection...") miss the _ for mnemonic accelerator. Could you please fix it (ensuring it's unique, of course)?
