Several suggestions

[Sektor]

1. File copying.
Suggest to add ability to append file in case of copy failure.
COPY_FILE_RESTARTABLE flag for CopyFileEx allows to do this.
It's a pain to copy again 2 Gb file with 100 Kb/s network after 1 Gb been copied.

2. Create folder dialog.
2.1. Why to write twice the same word "New folder (directory)". Does this mean that "directory" explains "folder"?
2.2. TC allows to create several folders in one operation. It's cool 'cause I often create the same set of folders.
However, as I create other folders, my set of folders disappers from drop-down list.
Suggest to create ability to save often used set of folders and show them in combo box.

3. Drag'n'Drop.
Say, I have 200 folders in both panels.
The parent folder of left panel: C:\LeftPanel\.
The parent folder of right panel: C:\RightPanel\.
I decided to drag'n'drop 100-th folder from left panel (C:\LeftPanel\100_1) to right panel (C:\RightPanel\) so that the path to my dragged folder would be C:\RightPanel\100_1\. However, to reach my goal I have to scroll 200 folders down and drop it to empty space or drop to "Directory Bar" (which is tiny enough to get it).
It can be some checkbox like "Dra'n'drop files/folder into root folder of opposite panel", and when it's checked, I can drop source folder on any area of panel, and my source folder would go to parent folder of target panel.

1. Nice idea, TC already has something similar for FTP connections.

3. You may just drop file(s) onto scroll bar (below panel) or path bar (above panel). Also if you have some unused pixels of panel space below files (if panel height contains not integral number of items) you may drop objects to that space.

2. The "directory" term is a DOS one while "folder" is a Windows one with the same sense. So, some users prefer the first one, some others - the second one, and that's all.
To create multiple folders with one click use the PowerPro script associated with a button or hot key. Or you can create batch file

Code: Select all

@echo off
md FirstDir
md SecondDir
...

and also call it from a button or hot key.

3. You can easily drag'n'drop file to the target tab that is large enough.

2. So, you mean that if I don't like word "folder", then I will search for word "directory"?
About creating set of folders: instead of using scripts, can this ability be built into TC?

3. I don't want to search for "side places" of panel to drop to. I just want to drop file/folder onto body of panel.

3. In such case it would be much faster to click F5 button instead of dragging objects to target panel.

3. I don't want to search for "side places" of panel to drop to. I just want to drop file/folder onto body of panel.

Not 'side places', the title or heading at the top of the panel, most likely showing
"C:\Mydirectoryname\whatever"

It's big and easy to hit, even if you use Tabs.

But presuming you are operating within TC, the F5 shortcut is easiest and fastest, as mouse issues do not come into play at all.

Most of the F-key shortcuts date back to Norton Commander, if you are wondering why they are the keys that they are.
