Right click on files offers already the Copy To option (Ctr-T). Can we also have a option for moving selected files to a new folder, please?

Rationale: I am uploading large numbers of photos to a Synology Photo Station using the bulk photo uploader tool. When this tool fails, I identify uploaded files with FreeFileSync and move them to a folder for completed files before restarting the bulk upload for the remaining files. Currently, this requires two steps:
1. Copy to new folder;
2. Move to bin.
This implies a risk of deleting and moving not exactly the same set of files which could be mitigated by a single move command.

Restrictions: Subfolders containing more files than the ones selected for the move need to be retained in their original locations, i.e. it would be a copy operation for these.
