It would be nice - post install - to be able to move game contents between steam lib folders to allow retrospective moving of games away from SSD's to other storage perhaps?

Well, as far as know, Windows version of Steam can't do that, too. That's why soft like Steam Mover exists. :)

Definitely, this feature should be in Steam itself. It is very useful and would be wide-used, I presume.

In linux you can do this with symlinks. ln -s

Manu, it’s not recommended to use symbolic links with Steam because of the way it handles its files.

Closing as implemented. Game properties -> local files -> move install folder.

Nothing extracted yet.
