Shift-F6 - Up/Down move to prev / next file

Hi all,
I'd like to suggest that up / down arrow keys move to previous / next file when editing the file name using Shift-F6, accepting the changes done to the currently edited file name.

I would avoid such things, it is always annoying when accidental Up/Down press erases all my input (e.g. in combo boxes).

MVV,
Well, as I explicitly said, the input would not be erased but saved.

Mmh, what happens on a name collision that occurs when (accidentally) pressing Up/Down?

Same as when you (accidentally) press Enter.

Anyway I may not want to save intermediate result... I prefer manual confirmations for all save operations (in-place rename, apply buttons in configuration dialogs etc).

Well, OK, but the current status does not have confirmations everywhere. Anyways, for you, I am willing to make this feature optional using the INI key InplaceRenameArrowNextFile=1. :P

This will actually be in TC9, it's already implemented. In case of a name collision, TC will show an overwrite confirmation dialog, where the user can choose a different name via "Rename". Once the dialog is gone, the cursor jumps to the next/previous file.

I have already implemented it in April 2015. Unfortunately new version releases are currently delayed because I cannot find a good icon designer, and the automatic panel look changes per directory are also stalled.

Maybe you could use just simple icon stubs for beta versions to allow parallel testing and designing? E.g. you can draw some letters in a square on icons...

Have you tried to make an invitation to tender - on a project platform or a design-oriented portal like https://dasauge.de/profile/designer/ or https://dasauge.ch/profile/designer/
the automatic panel look changes per directory are also stalled.
Would be interesting to know more about this challenges.

I'm looking for a company who offers stock icons since most icons in TC are for generic functions like copying. This way, only exotic functions would need icons designed from scratch. Unfortunately none of the suggestions I made were pleasing people here in the forum...

I think a good stock icon set can be good to find the desired style - at least when the style is consistent over the set. I wouldn't expect more than a few icons from such a set which can be used without changes. Most icons will be custom.

So why not to collect stock sets that match your criteria (Aero style) and somehow make a decision between them? I think there are quite a few good sets mentioned in the German thread. They are of course not exceptionally good - that would be exceptionally expensive. I don't think it's required for buttonbar icons. Just good icons would do.

I hope TC will keep its current default icon set in the meanwhile.

Why should the default icons be changed before a new set will be introduced? :?
