Included with MenuSmith · macOS 14 or later

Less window juggling

The destination can live in your menu.

Finish a download, file a delivery, or clear a working folder without keeping another Finder window open just for the drop.

Give a regular destination its own command

Save a folder for an Action you use often. Move selected items there without choosing the same location again.

Leave room for a different destination

Ask for a folder each time, or choose from destinations recently used through MenuSmith. Smart labels make matching folder names easy to tell apart, or you can show full paths for every recent destination.

Keep existing destination items

Name conflicts get distinct names instead of overwriting. Items already at the destination are skipped.

Filing shortcuts that match your folders.

Use separate Actions for common destinations, plus an ask-each-time version when the job changes. Choose how many recent destinations appear. Keep recent folder labels short with Smart, or choose Full Path to see every destination’s complete path.

  • Saved, chosen, or recent destinations
  • Files are moved, not duplicated
  • No overwriting on name conflicts
  • Smart folder labels or full paths

Good to know

Moving changes the original location. Recent destinations are those used in MenuSmith, not the system’s recent-folders list.

Smart uses only the destinations currently shown: Projects — Work and Projects — Personal stay distinct without long paths. Deeper matches expand only as far as needed, including the volume name when necessary.

Full paths use ~ for your home folder, preserve external-volume paths such as /Volumes/Samsung T7/Projects, and support other locations such as /tmp/Projects. Display preferences are saved separately for each Action and do not change its destination or access.

Keep the filing part short.

Move files to your everyday destinations from Finder.
