Strange behavior of buttons in cm_CreateShortcut dialog

[Elwin_Ransom]

1. Open the cm_CreateShortcut dialog box (Ctrl+Shift+F5). Click the "Options >>" button.

2. Press the small button to pin the "Advanced options" panel. Close the dialog box.
3. Open the cm_CreateShortcut dialog again. And we see neither the pinned "Advanced options" panel nor the "Options >>" button.

1st question: Do we really need "Advanced options" when creating shortcuts? If not, then there is no need for the "Options >>" button.

2nd question: If we really need "Advanced Options", why are they not shown pinned after restarting the cm_CreateShortcut dialog?

I miss the Options button in this dialog.
What is the trick to get it back ?

[Elwin_Ransom]

Just call the cm_Copy dialog (F5) and "unpress" the small Pin button. cm_CreateShortcut and cm_Copy are the same dialog (with same class name) but with different functions.

I would say that it is reasonable to have these options.

2nd question: If we really need "Advanced Options", why are they not shown pinned after restarting the cm_CreateShortcut dialog?

I would categorize this as a bug.

Confirmed, the shortcut dialog should get expanded too.

This should be fixed in Total Commander 11.01 RC1, please test it!

10.08.23 Fixed: When the F5 "Copy" dialog was pinned to the larger size (options expanded), the options were not available in the Ctrl+Shift+F5 "Create shortcut" dialog (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.01rc1
