I have lots of smaller and test scans that i saved in amongst all my other normal, non photogrammetry photos that are stored/organised into Month folders.  But i want to pull them out and organise them into their own folders...  I can do it manually, but it'd just be a LOT faster if i could just do something like a Save As...!
So the photos and project are in the same folder.

Is there a way, or could there be a way of copying and/or moving the photos with the project file and project folders, all together.
So similar to the Save As... command, that lets us save a copy of the project and its folders/files in a new location... But this doesn't bring the photos with it.

Two use cases:
Moving:  Like my situation, i just want to move everyting to a new location, folder... 
Copying:  Very useful for opening up a project and saving it and all its photos to a External SSD/Stick, to move to another machine or give to a collegue (or Alexey lol).

So perhaps, in the File Menu, a Copy To... and Move To...

Limitations:
Perhaps this might only be possible if we've got the photos saved in the same folder as the project, or a subfolder of it...  Or perheps the feature could copy all the images into the new folder of the project, or a subfolder, where it'd update the project with this new relative location for every photo... 

And perhaps there's other stuff that could also be included, not just photos?  I only use Standard, so perhaps Professional has other stuff that should also move with it?
My 'little' scan of our dive site, 'Manta Point'.  Mantas & divers photoshopped in for scale!
