(by "multiple directories together", multi-level is meant)
To reproduce:
In folder like %ProgramFiles% where elevation is required for writing, try to create 1 folder "dir" with typed backslash after its name:
dir\
in F7, it will fail with error:
Code: Select all
---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
Error: Directory [dir\]
not created!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

This fails because the backslash triggers the multiple subdirs function, which doesn't work in root only folders.

Could the trigger be changed so at least 2 backslashes would be required in New folder dialog to activate multiple subdirs creation function?
