Been very busy hence the delayed response. The bulk selector should only change the folder selection of the media items checked within the checkbox. The current behavior selects everything (including non selected media items). Ideally it should only change the media items that are checked so that we can pick specific items to put within a folder.

I simply modified the DOM via the HTML tab of Firebug and selected the appropriate element. Then I wrote a Select element along with it’s respective option elements. Of course this is only visible on my end, a working solution for everyone would be to insert the select element after the Bulk Actions menu.

$( "<select name="specificFolder" id="specificFolder">
    <option value="newFolder">New Folder</option>
    <option value="landscape">Landscape</option>
    <option value="ect">Ect</option>
</select>" ).insertAfter( "#bulk-action-selector-top" );

Inserting the new menu should be straight forward with jQuery. Populating the menu and having each selected item go to that specific folder is the part I’m not good with due to lack of PHP knowledge.

Deleted due to accidental duplicate due to internet disconnect.

I used Firebug to generate that by copying DOM elements. It’s 100% non functional but is visually precise on how I would make it. Due to not being a PHP guru, I’d either hide the dropdown until “Move to specific folder” was selected or append a new select element with it’s corresponding options via jQuery.

	$("#bulk-action-selector-top").change(function(){
		if ( $(this).val() == "specificFolder" ) { 
			// load the new menu
                else {
                    // hide the menu if specificFolder not selected
                }
        }
}

A more complicated example of select options opening more options: https://jsfiddle.net/N7Xpb/1/

Suggestion 1: Moving mass files to specific folders

Select the action to perform for all selected images

A new dropdown appears that lets you select the folder to move to

This method takes 5 clicks (4 if the new dropdown auto opens). It could be reduced to 3 clicks if the dropdown existed without the assistance of the actions menu:

Suggestion 2: Quickly adding new media to folders:

Move selected to folder option is next to Insert into page button

Don’t worry, not too expecting. I can add screen shots for easier understanding if you would like. This plugin is very close to being the perfect folder management tool for WordPress, the suggestions I gave are all my ideas poured into a single post. ??

Because I figured out that I was wrong about something.
