So when We can expect the PB2?

Probably next week (week of 27.4.). One public beta per week would be too much to handle for most people.

Seems to be fixed in pb2 for the context menu.

But if I mark _one_ folder and press ALT+F7, still the containing folder is shown, not the marked one.

Same here.

Thanks for confirming the fix!

This is intentional. Alt+F7 calls the main menu item, which works with the current dir. It checks the option "Only search in selected files/folders", which would be unavailable if I changed that.

I see, thanks for the info.

I consider it fixed in TC 7.50b2

Yes - for sure it's fixed now in PB2

Mh what about this (I think new) case:
Select multiple folders and use contextmenu search on one of them.

Shouldnt this search use the parent folder as search directory like when you press Alt-F7? But it uses the right clicked subdir.

But it uses the right clicked subdir.

It shows the right clicked subdir in the "Search in" field, but it actually searches ALL selected dirs. I think that it should show parent dir though - as with Alt+F7

Actually it offers both: As long as "only search selected" is checked, TC searches all selected folders independent from what is shown in the start dir. When you uncheck "only search selected", TC will search in the right clicked dir. This way you have both options.

I think that it should show parent dir though

Unfortunately the second search option (search the right-clicked dir) would be lost then...

So its by design.
Fine for me.

That's smart enough - it's a feature
