Right, I'm with you now. Archiving a folder that is finished with, 
rather than old content from an active folder.

The ability to move more than one would be good. 
Moving folders around using the keyboard shortcuts is pretty clunky,
but holding ALT and dragging one folder with the mouse works well
enough - if you first ensure the beginning and end locations are both
visible on the screen. (You need CTRL+ALT to drag a folder inside
another that doesn't already have sub-folders.)

If you have an idea for a better interface for this, you could always
log it as a wish at https://www.ritlabs.com/bt. 
Just don't hold your breath! Oh, and make sure to post the link to
your issue report here - then people might possibly read and support
or discuss it.
