+// USAGE:
+//   place this file somewhere in the webroot, 
+//   for example in a folder named ".res" to hide it, and then
+//   python3 copyparty-sfx.py -v .::A --js-browser /.res/quickmove.js
+//
+// DESCRIPTION:
+//   the command above launches copyparty with one single volume;
+//   ".::A" = current folder as webroot, and everyone has Admin
+//
+//   the plugin adds hotkey "W" which moves all selected files
+//   into a subfolder named "foobar" inside the current folder
