Description

Windows OS version

Windows 11 23H2

ImageGlass version

Version: 9.5.0.515 (64-bit)

ImageGlass release

Classic

1️⃣ Describe the feature

The old Windows Photos app from at least Windows 7 thru early Windows 11 had a great feature where you hit Alt-M and your current image would be moved to a predefined folder. The "modern" Microsoft Photos can't do it (and is awful in general) which is actually how I found your app.

I used this feature ALL the time. The closest in ImageGlass is CTRL-X and then in a little Explorer window hit paste. It works, but is clunky.

I would love this feature here.

2️⃣ How to use feature
  1. Alt-M -> Quick mini explorer window opens to the last folder used for Alt-M
  2. Hit Enter to move or select a new folder to change.
3️⃣ Additional context

I wish I could screenshot the old app, but it's goooone.

The only other viewer I'm familiar with that can do this is Qwenview but that's Linux only AFAIK.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing keyboard-shortcut handling and the current Ctrl-X/file-move behavior. Review how folder selection and the last-used folder could fit the requested Alt-M flow. Done means Alt-M opens the last folder, allows selecting a different folder, and moves the current image after confirmation; verify the behavior on Windows 11.
