having to go through the "actions-> ..." stuff is also quite tedious, especially the paste, which is a 2-level action. Having a popup when selecting a document or multiple documents at the mouse-cursor or being able to right-click would be nicer, or maybe just even buttons at the top, since this is functionality you'll use a lot.

Have you considered a Move to action?

Select items
click Move To
pops up a folder browser allowing you to select the destination

Feels a bit more intuitive to me, especially if you are filing a large number of things from the inbox.
Drag and drop is less useful when you have multiple levels of folders.

PS. Love the project - is well on its way to becoming the best DMS out there...

Thank you! It feels great to hear kind words!

It never crossed my mind actually - maybe because it was shadowed by idea of cut/paste. I will open a new ticket to keep an eye on it (it is actually very easy to implement)

Right click menu was added. Will be available since next 2.0 release.
Here is a preview.
