Description Devyn Collier Johnson 2013-05-25 12:18:03 UTC 
I have an idea for a new feature in Nautilus. This feature is the ability for a user a right-click a selection of many folders. The user can then click "Dump Folders". This will tell Nautilus to move the files out of the folders to the root location of these folders and then delete the folders. For example, if I have hundreds of folders in ./Downloads, I could dump the folders and the files inside would all be placed in the "Downloads" folders. I have reported this idea on Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1183968).
Comment 1 André Klapper 2021-06-18 15:17:42 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
