Description
I suggest the ability to copy or move files to a bookmarked directory with two taps, without having to leave the current directory. This could save lots of time when categorizing files.
After selecting files, there should be "quick copy" and "quick move" options. After tapping on it, a pop-up lists the bookmarked folders. Tapping on one of those folders would immediately start a file copy and file move.
To illustrate how much time it would save, here is a comparison of the two workflows:
| Normal workflow example | With quick move |
|---|---|
• Select files inside DCIM/Camera • Tap "move". • Navigate manually to target directory. • Open target directory (if it has many files, loading it requires waiting a few seconds). • Confirm copy or move. • Navigate back to DCIM/Camera • Scroll down to the last position to categorize the remaining files. |
• Select files • Tap on "quick move" • Tap on the bookmark. • Done. |
Use case
This can be helpful when categorizing photographs or videos from the DCIM/Camera folder.
With quick move, a file copy or move can be performed while remaining at the current directory and even scroll position. Far fewer steps.
If Amaze file manager has this feature, I am guessing its user base will explode. People will see how much better third-party file managers can be than the garbage pre-installed by Google.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing file-selection copy and move actions and the bookmarked-folder interface, then define how the quick-action popup should work without leaving the current directory; done means both actions can target a selected bookmarked folder and preserve the current location and scroll position.
