Req : favorites in copy/move dialog

Post by *jjk »

In addition to other pane folder, I'd like to have choice to copy/move towards any favorite folder (keeping the same filename to make simple). The favorite folders could be in a combo list.
It should be another plus for favorites usage.

What do you think ?

A not so clean solution would be to use FavMenu instead of the internal TC dirmenu (hint: Ctrl+Shift+Enter on the entry).

Anyway, support.
TC for Linux please!

jjk: support++

It is a great idea!

I've often missed such an option myself

The destination field in the copy/move dialog could be a drop-down list, for example (although it shouldn't be filled automatically of course - perhaps a checkbox to save the present destination into the favorite destination list? I'm sure there are many other efficient ways).

I proposed something like this many years ago, but most responses said it was overkill.

Perhaps it was overkill many years ago, but would it still be compared to today's functionalities ? (and anyway isn't Total Commander supposed to be "total"? ;)).
Moreover, it could be made possible to let the user choose between "minimal" and "expert" copy/move dialogs via configuration (or would that overkill the configuration? ;) ). Or there could be a "more options" button to contract/expand the dialog.

Anyway support++ to JFC's total dialog proposal
