Hotlist / add current dir does not place it at the bottom of the submenu

Post by *wanderer »

I'd like to report this post as a bug.

Here is an example of an existing Hotlist and the behaviour i consider problematic:

Folder1
....Item1
....Item2
....Folder1.1
....Item3
....Item4

If i add a new hotlist item, i check the "add to submenu" and select "Folder1", the new item will be placed between "Item2" and "Folder1.1" instead of being added under "Item4" as i expected. This happens only when the selected destination submenu contains another submenu.

When you check "add to submenu", it will be placed in that submenu before the next submenu entry. TC doesn't distinguish between submenu levels, therefore it goes before "Folder1.1".

Hi Christian.

Yes, i understood that, however the expected behaviour (by me at least) would be for it to be added as the last item in the submenu i have selected, not be placed somewhere in the middle because a submenu exists there and TC gets confused.

Now, the real questions are:
1. Do you consider this to be a bug and if yes,
2. Is it easy for this behaviour to be changed or it's too much trouble and does not worth it?

In any case, even though i have reported it as a bug, i do not consider it to be that important, so whatever you feel is best...

I agree this behavior is a bit unexpected.

Using other wording:
When adding a new position, TC should ignore all nested submenus and go to the last position on a given menu level rather than stop on the first found submenu.
