[TC10.50] Copy in background: error msg when target name exist as folder and as file or folder within that folder

[white]

• Enable dark mode if not yet enabled. (this is only to show a certain dialog is always in normal mode)
• Create folder c:\test\test
• Go to c:\
• In the other panel go to some folder and create the file "test" with any content.
• Copy the newly created file to c:\ in the background (press F5, F2)
• An error msg appears saying a dir with the name "c:\test" already exists. Click on the Yes button to copy to this dir.
• The same error msg appears which is always in normal mode (non dark).

The second error msg is wrong because it is not and dark mode and because it says "c:\test" already exists while it should say that "c:\test\test" already exists (or simply try to copy as with copying in forground).

Not confirmed,

Can you try with clean ini?

You have to NOT have CopyToDirWarn=0 in wincmd.ini.

Otherwise I can confirm the bug as it is reported

I cannot reproduce that. The result is the same in 32-bit and 64-bit. I tried with a fresh INI file.

The second error message shows:
Access denied on file
c:\test\test

Weird, I tried it with 32-bit and 64-bit too and petermad confirmed it too. Are you sure you did a background copy to c:\ ?

Are you sure you did a background copy to c:\ ?

Ah, that's what I missed! I read it about 10 times and couldn't figure out what I was doing differently.

It's due to this error and bugfix:
https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=412865

I was trying to handle the error checks before adding the items to the background copy thread, because the dark message box was hanging there. But somehow the check was done again in the background thread too. That's why you get a non-dark message box, because the dark one would hang.

18.07.22 Fixed: When trying to copy a file with F5-F2 and a folder with the same name already existed, the user was asked twice whether he wanted to copy the file to that folder instead (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 10.51rc1
