29.11.11 Fixed: F5 copy dialog: Only show folders in auto-complete suggestions, because the sort order couldn't be fixed (32/64)
What is the main reason of removing such an useful feature, which has been available in Total Commander since decades? (even in TC v7.0)
I used this F5 autocomplete suggestion (for files) about 50-60 times a day, so i miss it like chipmunk the water in wildfire (very much)...
Any way of re-enabling it (for example by modifying wincmd.ini)?
In case there isn't, i need to stuck at using beta10...

This seems to be the reason. Looks like bug or misfeature to me, since Christian himself said that it's not a good idea to remove files from single-file operation dialog.

I agree that there should be an option in wincmd.ini to switch display of files in the auto-complete list on and off . This could be an extension of the already existing AutoComplete parameter:
AutoComplete=3
A combination (sum) of the following options:
1: Show auto-complete dropdown list
2: Auto-append current suggested name
4: Show files and folders (otherwise folders only)
I use this feature myself from time to time...

The problem is that although I pass the names sorted correctly to the auto-complete function, they are automatically re-sorted with the file names first.
The only solutions I found were:
1. Leave out the backslash - but I don't want to miss that useful feature
2. Append a dot instead of a backslash, and then interpret this accordingly - but that might confuse users
3. Leave out the file names (as I do now)

I think, it's better to leave the desicion up to users (via an option). I personally would prefer that when I copy a single file, the filenames should also be displayed in auto-complete, even if they are shown mixed. If several files (or a subdir) are selected then file names may be omitted, since it's very unusual to copy them into an existing file.

I'm replying here instead of the other thread i started. I'm in favour of displaying only folders but I agree that users could choose their preferred method via a (hidden) option.
I myself prefer renaming/copying single files inline (shift+f6 or shift+f5) instead of f5 or f6 and multiple files can't be moved/copied into a single file anyway .. so I'm happy with how b11 does it

+1
(i really don't care if they're mixed or not... the only thing that matters is the autocomplete suggestion function for me)

So true. Please give back the filename autocomplete function (even mixed up). I just missed that function a few moments ago...
Example:
1. Both panes at C:\Temp. In C:\Temp\ somefile.txt, otherfile.txt.
2. Cursor on somefile.txt. Press F5.
3. TC show C:\Temp\somefile.txt. Backspace some until \. Type o. TC suggested otherfile.txt. Press arrow down. Press arrow left until e. Insert Space, 1, Enter . -> otherfile 1.txt
Now that can't be done anymore, have to type the the whole new name!!!

If that means that matching files are displayed above dirs then I don't like it but hey ... i'm just one person. Can you make an option to disable showing files in the autocomplete?
