Automatic folder creation upon inplace rename with backslash

[X-Byte]

It would be great if TC supported the following:

Inplace rename of file "myfile.txt" to "some\sub\folder\myfiles.txt" would result in the creation of the nested folders some, sub and folder in the current directory and finally moving the file to the subfolder folder. Additionally one sure might also change the filename itself to another name like mynewfiles.txt.

If the folder already exists, skip folder creation and move (and rename) file directly, as currently already implemented in TC.

[Balderstrom]

Select File: file.txt
F6
Type: .\Foo\Bar\
--> File.txt moved to newly created sub-folders.

The latter doesn't appear to be possible,
Type: .\Foo\Bar\my*.*
--> myle.txt in sub-folders Foo\Bar.
Type: .\Foo\Bar\my*
--> myle in sub-folders Foo\Bar.

Imagine this could be worked around if a checkbox was added to F6 to allow variable expansion, i.e. %S or %1
Or if a checkbox was added to allow *.* to mean the original filename + extension -- disallowing overwriting the filename with any additional characters, so
my*.* --> myFile.txt instead of the current behaviour - which matches how cmd prompt COPY works.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing.

I was refering to the inplace rename function which could be started by Shift+F6.

Basically I'd like to resemble inplace rename the behaviour of the Move-dialog (F6) as you describe it - nonexistent folders created, file moved/renamed. If possible it should also respect relative (..\..\my\folder\file.txt) and absolute (C:\my\folder\file.txt) path addressing.

You may use F6 for renaming also, and, as Balderstrom said, in this case subfolders will be created.

I am aware of that, I just would like to have this behaviour for inplace rename as well, no additional dialog box - quick and efficient

I know that it is a time consuming task to keep track of all the topics on this board but it would be really great if you can at least give a quick thumbs up/thumbs down on the topics that come up in the TC7.5 suggestions (English) section.

Threads are not too numerous as to have a look at the dozen that arise per week. Half of them are usually already obsolete as the suggested features already exist as pointed out by other board members, thus do not need much attention from your side.

But in my opinion those suggestions which remain open/valid deserve a little comment from you. Even if it may be "Too much hazzle" or "Too special to be of interest for the common user" or "Maybe in a distant future", it at least shows that you've read and considered the suggestion.

Thanks a lot

I'm reading all comments, but I have stopped commenting on them because it's little use to say "yea, great idea" when I don't have the time to implement them all. I try to implement suggestions which are popular and fit well into the concept of the program, though.
