Confirmation when copying to existing folder

djk · Post by *djk » 2009-04-23, 19:44 UTC

In TC 7.50 pb1 we have something like this:

"30.01.08 Added: Copy/Move function (F5/F6): warn if the user tries to copy/move a single file/directory to an already existing directory name."

It's horrible! I've used to press F5/F6 type eg. "ready" and the file was copied to subdirectory of this name. Now I have to press additional ENTER. Why? Is it possible to turn it off?

Is it possible to turn it off

NO - but just type eg. "ready\"

Thanks. I know I can type backslash at the end and it works but if you type for long time only the name of the folder it's difficult to remember about it. You know some things your fingers do on the keyboard themselves before you evevn start to think about it

So I press F6 type 'ready', press Enter and... switch to another application. When I come back in a few minutes to TC I see the question "Are you sure you want to do.... " - like in new Windows "I know you want to do it but think about it once again cause... "

I understand that there are many more important items to do so of course I will surely get used to it but I would prefer to turn it off.

TC 7.50 pb4:

19.05.09 Added: F5 copy: When copying in the foreground and a target dir with same name as the current file exists, show a checkbox to set the option CopyToDirWarn=0
19.05.09 Added: F5 copy: Allow to turn off warning which is shown when the user enters by hand a dir name which already exists: wincmd.ini [Configuration] CopyToDirWarn=0

Thanks Christian

It works great but... it still needs the annoying confirmation when you use Move files (F6).

Could it work the same way as during copying?
