Bug? F5 -> copy to existing path

Post by *Dark-Star »

Hi! I noticed this in PB1 and PB2: I try to copy a file by pressing F5. If I then type in an already existing path as the target, I get a message telling me that "the target path already exists" and asking me if I want to copy the file there.
That's very annoying (why would I click "no" when I just typed in the path manually?), can it be turned off somehow?

I can not confirm this using pb2. Maybe some more informations are needed.

Has been discussed already somewhere. Cant find it by now.
C. Ghisler added it as a feature.

You can avoid it by typing the folder with a "\" at the end.

Try this:
- make sure that you have a directory called "C:\Temp"
- Make sure that neither window in TC shows C:\Temp
- Move the cursor on any file
- press F5
- replace the destination path (which is the path of the other window) by typing "C:\Temp" and press enter
-> you get a message telling you that "C:\Temp already exists and is a directory".

If you type "C:\Temp" as target path, it works without the warning.

With 7.04, both ways worked without any annoying messages.

Would be nice to get the old behaviour back via an option. If it's already in the queue, as Samuel suggested, then I'm fine with it.

I didnt suggested anything. I just wrote what I remembered what others wrote. :)

The current (TC 7.5 beta) behavior (showing the warning) is the feature I was talking of.
I dont know if C. Ghisler is considering to make an option for this.

Ah, then I misunderstood your comment.

IMHO this feature doesn't serve any useful purpose. If it is not reverted then there should at least be an option to switch back to the old behavior.
