why TC does not ask for folder name while you move a folder?

Post by *Michael REMY »

hi,

when you move [F6 key] a file, TC always offer the user the way to rename the file in the dialog box.

but when you move a folder, TC never offer the way to rename the folder.

why ?
i'm an old long user of TC since the windows 3.11 release !, for the history, i came to tc when i migrate from amiga commodore to PC where they are diskmanager and directory opus there.

What's stopping you? Just replace the first asterisk with the new name. (Press F6 twice)

Better both (F5/F6 once more), otherwise folders with dots in name will be copied incorrectly. :)

E.g. you copy/move Folder1 to:

Code: Select all

C:\Location\*.*
Wildcard part *.* should be changed to new folder name, e.g.:

Code: Select all

C:\Location\Folder2
As a result, folder will be copied/moved as C:\Location\Folder2.

Also entire target path may be changed just to new folder name if C:\Location is the currently opened in active panel, e.g.:

Code: Select all

Folder2
