[req] Dragging files to upper-level
Hello all!
I'd like to thank all who contribute in development of this magnificent program; I am testing v7 for my private use, and I'd like to see one feature I've been seeing on Linux file managers.
From time to time I have to select all files in foder and drag'em to the top of the file view window to drop'em to upper-level directory. When I do just that, the files are copied there, when I hold SHIFT, files are moved there.
On Linux I was using one similar file manager which, when just dragged'n'dropped files to upper-level folder, a menu poped-up with selections of "Copy to..." or "Move to...", which I find easier to deal with, rather than pressing the shift key while dragging files to just move files there.
I hope you understood

Btw, you can now use right mouse button drag&drop even with right mouse selection mode! Just hild down shift before starting the drag.

Dragging with the right mouse button and pressing shift at the same time, you are actually performing a "move" task, right? When you release the right mouse button the menu appears but the copy option is bold. Shouldn't the move option be bold instead?ghisler(Author) wrote:Btw, you can now use right mouse button drag&drop even with right mouse selection mode! Just hild down shift before starting the drag.

Yes I guess altering the default entry when shift is pressed is a good idea.Dragging with the right mouse button and pressing shift at the same time, you are actually performing a "move" task, right?

Only when you RELEASE the mouse button while shift is pressed. I'm talking about PRESSING the mouse button down while shift is pressed. You can release shift before dropping the file.Dragging with the right mouse button and pressing shift at the same time, you are actually performing a "move" task, right?

Yes, that's the case i'm talking about. In that case, before displaying the menu, it would be nice if the "move" option became bold instead of letting the "copy be bold". It's a little detail but it would be nice.ghisler(Author) wrote:Only when you RELEASE the mouse button while shift is pressed. I'm talking about PRESSING the mouse button down while shift is pressed.

Before dropping the file press the right mouse button in addition and you'll move the file(s) instead of copy. No need to press any key for that.AbteriX wrote:This way i could move with mouse only (without pressing an key).
Because i do moving more the copying.
And in TC that works across partitions/drives, too (contrary to explorer).

This works in TC7 only. Very neat.Sheepdog wrote:Before dropping the file press the right mouse button in addition and you'll move the file(s) instead of copy.

Sorry that I have to correct you but you are wrong. This works already with Total Commander Version 5.50.wanderer wrote:This works in TC7 only. Very neat.Sheepdog wrote:Before dropping the file press the right mouse button in addition and you'll move the file(s) instead of copy.

I tried it in 6.55 before posting and for some reason it didn't work. It works now though! Crazy world (or me, whatever...).Sheepdog wrote:Sorry that I have to correct you but you are wrong.
