Originally assigned to: @ciur on GitHub.

To collect my documents from various sources I use the mail and the import feature. So most of my documents appear in the Inbox.
As far as I found out, I can either use an automation to move them automatically to the destination folder
or I can go the hard way:

mark one
right click
cut
navigate to the destination folder
paste
go back to start over with the next document

It would be much more convenient to have a "move-to" box on the right side. Some kind of dropdown list like in "Automate" where you can select the destination direktory and move the file with just one or two clicks.

yes, I know, that mark, cut, navigate, paste is very tedious. Next release will feature dual panel mode and you'll be able to drag'n drop documents/folders/pages from one panel to another. Here is an early preview of dual mode feature.

Next release will feature **dual panel mode** and you'll be able to drag'n drop documents/folders/pages from one panel to another.

In latest release you can use dual panel mode which has exactly what you are asking.
Here is a quick demo of how to move files from Inbox to Home > My Documents folder using dual panel mode:
