Manual option to copy file comment descript.ion F5/F6, Shift+F5

Post by *hi5 »

I have "copy comments with files" turned off because 99% of the time that is what I want. But sometimes I do want to copy / keep the comment for a file when copying or moving a file. So I would like to have an option (checkbox?) in the copy and move dialogs, to illustrate an example below "[x] Copy descript.ion"

As this may be useful for only a minor group of users, perhaps make it an option in the INI file and hide it by default.

F5/F6:
[ ] Copy &NTFS permissions (may need administrator rights) [ ] &Verify

Advanced options:

[ ] S&kip all which cannot be opened for reading
[ ] Overwrite/Delete &read only/hidden/system
[ ] Copy to all selected folders/links in the target &panel
[x] Copy comment to descript.ion/file.bbs
Shift+F5: (not sure how to handle shift+F6)
Copy "File.txt" to:
________________
[ ] Copy &NTFS permissions (may need administrator rights)
[ ] &Verify [x] Copy comment to descript.ion/file.bbs
OK &Tree Cancel
(I could create an AutoHotkey script to do it but would be nice to have it as an option in the TC copy/move dialog)

I did search but given the number of threads I didn't find one similar - feel free to post link to previous discussion

Edit: typo, "added 'copy comment to ' to [x] for better illustration of what should happen
