Bug Description

I have an idea for a new feature in Nautilus. This feature is the ability for a user a right-click a selection of many folders. The user can then click "Dump Folders". This will tell Nautilus to move the files out of the folders to the root location of these folders and then delete the folders. For example, if I have hundreds of folders in ./Downloads, I could dump the folders and the files inside would all be placed in the "Downloads" folders.

Thank you for taking the time to report this idea and helping to make Ubuntu better. This is something that should be handled directly by this software's developers (i.e. upstream) so it would be nice if you could send this to them by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a "bug watch" that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
