Feature: move files to another folder

Would be nice to have ability to move downloaded files to another folder. Use case: imagine we have some new videos downloaded to /sdcard/Downloads. Then we watched these videos and want them to lay in /sdcard/Movies/Fun/Cats/ but also want to continue seeding them. Now the only way of doing it is
1) Move files
2) Remove torrent
3) Add torrent
4) Point it to a new location

And what if we have 2-3-5 torrents?

As a compromise, this might be not the "Move files to other dest" but simple "Set other dest" i.e. change dest folder of a torrent. And it should be available for several selected torrents

It could be made with destination folders and categories. It torrent file could be associated with a category and this category should have a destination directory.

While downloading we could set the torrent category, like movie, tv shows or music.

Well, that's not exactly what I meant. The feature is like uTorrent's "Advanced > Set download location" feature. This changes destination folder in torrent's properties and transfers all the downloaded files. The latter is optional if too hard to implement but the former would be very useful for the purposes of sorting the files.
Anyway if talking about folders this goal could be achieved with 3rd-party software Directory Bind which will simply link /sdcard/Movies/Fun/Cats/Ep01 to /sdcard/Downloads/Ep01. But this won't work for standalone files.
