Create a folder and move a photo into it

I tried this code from several code snippets. in the end it always says "false" and the zip function does not even start, so there is no folder created or file copied.

1. You cannot create a (sub)folder in the root directory of the external storage on Android 11+.

2. You can only create a new subfolder in one of the Shared folders (like e.g. /Download or /Documents).

3. The File component uses/needs a relative path (not an absolute path). With FileScope=App it is just the fileName. With FileScope=Shared or Legacy the path is relative to the root directory of the external storage (/storage/emulated/0).
