Total Commander

When renaming a folder to an already existing folder, eg, renaming Temp1 to Temp
TC displays a message confirmation box:

---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
A directory with the name
C:\Temp
already exists.

Do you want to move the file/dir to this subdirectory?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

If we could get a new Message Confirmation box...

---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
A directory with the name
C:\Temp
already exists.

Do you want to move the file/dir to this subdirectory?
Or Merge the folders?
---------------------------
Merge Move Cancel
---------------------------

This behaviour would be in line with what happens when:
1) You drag a folder named Temp into a directory that has a Temp folder: they are merged.
2) You allow the previous move, then enter the original Temp folder and drag the recently moved folder up one level --> merged.

fwiw, this change Must have been in response to a feature request, though I never saw it - I get the same message when I 'move' a file to an extant directory, i.e., f6 file1 to T (typing T in the receiving field).

I -Now- get a message telling me about this directory's existence and have to answer yes, I want to do this, I never did before. It is not helpful to me to have to hit enter to move the file to an existing directory. I have not found a permissions entry that addresses this new feature.

My previous experience, regarding your request, would have been the same: if I move a directory 'temp' to a sub that had an existing directory temp, the merge would (correctly, IMHO) simply take place with no confirmation required. IF there was a filename issue, Then a confirmation would be required. Maybe the rename in place is the notable difference.

Clearly I do not understand the benefit of this change.

Doubt it has to do with this. 7.55a Does what you are indicating.

If you don't want to see the message add a slash.

F6, on File: AHK.LOG
Type: TEMP\

AHK.LOG moved to TEMP - no confirmation dialog.

You can turn off the warning with the line
MoveToDirWarn=0
in wincmd.ini under [Configuration] .

thanx, boss - that, of course, solved it. (apologies for the semi-hijack)
