 os.org/ticket/4216#comment:10 comment 10], which is like the "Copy to..."
 and "Create link..." menus are already, only that the "Haiku" volume is
 below the separator together with the other mounted volumes, and I'd add a
 "Favorites" under the "Recent Folders".[[BR]]

 If I understand correctly, most responders like the following setup for
 all Move/Copy/Link menu entries

 {{{
  Current Folder  >
  Recent/Favorites Folders  >
  Desktop  >
  home  >
 -------------------
  [Haiku_boot_volume]  >
  [mounted Volume 2]  >
  [mounted Volume 3]  >
 }}}

 I know the issues of Recent or Favorites folders or how to determine the
 "Current Folder' are important. However, may I suggest that that the "move
 to" entry be changed to either the above(preferred) or the one from
 comment:10 hence resolving the ticket.

 We can continue to discuss and work out the thornier issues of
 Current/Recent/Favorites folders, either in this or another ticket.
