Autocomplete (same pane copy) bug or design change?

Post by *Roger Gann »

Briefly, in TC 7.03a when executing "same pane copy" (shift+F5), the autocomplete dropdown box lists all files and folders that match the characters I type. In TC 7.50a only matching folders are listed in the dropdown box, making the autocomplete useless for copying to the same folder.
The two following screen shots show the difference in behavior.

I have searched the help file, the forums, and the history.txt file and cannot find an explantion (or mention) of this change. Can anyone tell me how to restore the TC v7.03a behaviour?

(arr!, I can't figure out how to get the screen shots to display in the post)

I don't see any available options to enable that either. If it was available in 7.0 sounds more like a bug/regression.
*BLINK* TC9 Added WM_COPYDATA and WM_USER queries for scripting.

I don't think it is possible.

Like Balderstrom said: it looks like some kind of bug. I could reproduce it only once (with 7.02) after reading your post. I've tried to get it work few more times with many TC versions (7 versions down to 7.0) without success.

• Alas, this feature is disabled in the board, despite a lot of requests… There is a thread you could find via the Search about this lacuna. :(
