I don't know if this will help but viewmate from pentalogix is free
and can do what you ask.  However, the free version doesn't save
files.  It might during the trial period, though.

I can“t get the install to work :(
Save is needed also...

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
