Request: cm_MkDir (F7 NewFolder) improvements
Posted: 2006-12-09, 10:35 UTC
I appreciate the new features of the cm_MkDir command (F7 NewFolder). The HISTORY.TXT file describes them as follows:
- 05.02.06 Added: Suggest dir name under cursor as default name on F7 Mkdir, so the user can edit the name.
- 14.05.06 Added: F7 "New Folder" now has its own history of last created folders
- Also a file name should be suggested if the focus is on a file.
This would be handy at least in the following cases:
a) The focused file is an archive file (.zip, .rar, ...) and you want to create a directory into which you can extract individual files of the archive.
b) You have multiple files that belong together and you want to move them to a new directory.
By the way: Probably the current unnecessary restriction even causes additional code to distinguish between directory and file. - The description of the second feature in the HISTORY.TXT is not quite correct.
In fact the cm_MkDir history consists of the 20 most recently visible names in the cm_MkDir dialog (stored in the [MkDirHistory] section).
That means that the name is also stored if the dialog is canceled.
I am not sure whether this is a bug or a feature, but I would prefer that the name is stored only when the OK button is pressed resulting in a history of directories that somebody really tried to create (successfully or not).
