Feature: Right-Click Drag Context Menu Enhancements in Files

[Eagle10021]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I feel like Files would benefit from a right-click drag context menu that lets users perform common actions like extracting archives, copying, moving, or creating a new archive directly to the drop location. This improves workflow when moving or managing files without needing extra clicks.

Requirements

Add a context menu that appears when files/folders are right-click dragged to a destination.

Include Copy Here and Move Here as default options.

Include Extract Here when dragging archives.

Include Create Archive… to integrate with installed compression tools (e.g., 7-Zip, WinRAR).

Ensure the menu works with multiple selected files/folders.

Make the menu customizable or remember the last used option for faster repeated actions.

Comments

This feature would streamline file management and reduce extra clicks for common drag-and-drop operations. It would be especially useful for users who frequently move, copy, or extract archives.
