This PR introduces a standalone project adding two essential context menu actions to Nemo: Copy to... and Move to.... These actions allow users to copy or move selected files and folders to a destination chosen via the system's native folder picker.
Features
Gtk.FileChooserNativeto trigger the file picking dialog. This ensures native look-and-feel matching the active Cinnamon theme and provides compatibility with modern app sandboxing (e.g. Flatpaks using XDG Desktop Portals).~/.config/dory/last_copy_location.txtandlast_move_location.txt). If the folder is not found or is missing, it safely falls back to the user's Home directory.File (1).txt) rather than failing or silently overwriting data.validate-spicechecks.File Structure
How to Test
