The context menu would literally say "Move To"/"Copy To" and open either a further drop-down with potential destinations: ... or a pop-over dialogue something like this:

Originally Windows pointed this feature to users' Downloads, Pictures, and Documents Folders, but as you can infer from the screenshots, the menu was configurable.

I do not need and probably wouldn't impliment this feature in a mobile file manager app, but I would be telling the OP I just don't want to do it because its my app with my aesthetic/sensibilities in mind, NOT gaslighting/trolling them that its already implimented.

Voters/Teachers: Teachers should have the right to make students shut off their ringers and put away or even turn their phones in at the start of class.

These bozos: Let's mandate that schools and teachers deal with this issue in the most asinine way possible.

Mind you, in Indiana, there is no checking that your homeschooling is actually teaching your child anything. It's one of the best states for Un-schooling, if that's how you want to educate them. We're also swimming in private/religious school vouchers and charter schools.

I can't wait to see how this joke plays out.

To answer your question, yes. The temperature you need to get the food to isn't actually all that high. The trick is to make sure every bit of it gets there, and yes, for long enough to kill the bad shit.

That's not what they are requesting.

No one cares. It does NOT have the feature requested in the OP:

X-plore File Manager does:

I'm sitting here like, in my old age I've seen things these script kiddies are apparently unaware exist. They will lie to your face and insist its not lying, so long as they can't be bothered to learn any differently.

All these idiots insisted the requested feature is in the app, so I tried it and found ... MaterialFiles doesn't have Move-to/Copy-to. It's not a feature that even makes all that much sense(if any) for a mobile app, but damn, they should just say that instead of insisting its a feature their app already has.

I have like eight different file-browsers on my phone, as each has one or more features the others won't, or can't impliment. ES File whatever - the only one that can set a file as a ring-tone. X-plore File-Manager - let's me sort media files based on length, not just age, name or file-size ... and also happens to be the only mobile file-browser I've seen with the feature requested in the OP.

For my day-to-day, I use fx File Browser, and I couldn't even tell you why. I'm of an age where I stick to what I'm used to until I'm forced into an alternative, and even then that one feature usually doesn't make for a new daily driver. "Dev's" like are crowding this thread are doing their best to make sure it stays that way. I'm ready to jump ship to a Linux phone because there are fewer (shit)devs writing apps for them.

First off, your link doesn't work. Do you know how to use Lemmy?

Second, no, Material Files does not have the "Move To" or "Copy To" features OP requested, although I'll agree, its a weird feature request for an android app:

Still, it IS a feature in the android app X-Plore File Manager:

Please, in the future, bother to try to understand even the very basics of that on which you speak. okthxbai

spoiler"Winning" in this case meaning capturing the other Pokemon alive ... or even a significant chunk of them intact.

Honestly, the instant obliteration depicted is more humane than most poke-battles, but damn if I didn't find the AI's take amusing, after it took me an embarassingly long time to figure out what it was getting at.

No, they are requesting a drop-down menu option, or menu-bar option(not familiar with this software, but normally such options would go under the Edit menu), one that either opens a further drop-down with likely destinations(a built-in feature in Windows file manager of all places, some twenty years ago) or a whole pop-up dialog. If anything, they could stand to be more specific with their request, as they undoubtedly have a preference.

Don't confuse UI requests with underlying functionality and technical capabilities. Tell them their UI request won't be implimented for whatever(keeping things uncluttered maybe?) reason, but telling them their requested feature already exists is simply untrue, and leads them to believe you don't understand what they are requesting.

Based on your replies, they are not wrong, OP either doesn't understand, is being obtuse, or is just trolling them as OP has nothing better to do. Want to mock people for "wasting your time"? Don't be the one actively wasting their time AND your own.

Which side of the conversation are we mocking here? Guessing the user is unaware they can select multiple files at a time ... but I've also found the menu options they are asking for useful in the past.

You can run your own offline instance. Not that randos are likely to, but still.

So is my take, and I'm only an MRA insofar as many men deserve to be permanently single whether they think they like it or not. They have the right to be forced to fend for themselves(and pay their bills, like, idk, child support) in order to be treated as adults.
