Bug? F5 -> copy to existing path
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?

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.

- 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.
