Copy from Desktop (virtual panel) to shared folder

[KozakMak]

1. I am trying to copy (F5) file from virtual panel (cm_OpenDesktop) to shared folder \\host\shared_folder
2. A standard dialog appears (Copy 1 file(s) to *path* ?)
3. OK
4. Nothing happened
5. Nothing in totalcmd.log

If I drag-and-drop from (real) desktop to \\host\shared_folder - all OK.

TotalCmd 11.03 x64
Windows 10

I can confirm this under Windows 10 but not under Window 7

It is only if I try to copy to the "root" of the shared folder (then I gette an error beep). If I copy to a subfolder on the shared folder there is no problem.

Also if I enable "Net" -> "Show Admin Shares" and go into for example F$ (where the root is not write protected) I also cannot copy from \\Desktop - but I can copy to subfolders on F$

Not confirmed on Windows 11. Since these are virtual folders, it's the same as using Ctrl+C, Tab, Ctrl+V.
Can you do Ctrl+C on the desktop and Ctrl+V anywhere else than a share?
Can you do Ctrl+C in a local directory and Ctrl+V on that share?

Windows 10 and 7: Yes.

Can you do Ctrl+C in a local directory and Ctrl+V on that share?

Windows 10: No, only to subfolders on the share. Windows 7: Yes.

How about when you open that share which doesn't work in TC in Explorer and press Ctrl+V there?

yes, from \\Desktop ctrl+c to explorer shared folder ctrl+v - worked

The same here - I can paste with Ctrl+V in Explorer to the base folder of shares. Both if I copy from Desktop with Ctrl+C from within TC and from within Explorer

Unfortunately this is a Windows 10 bug which cannot be fixed:

Total Commander requests the context menu of the target folder, and then invokes the "paste" command of that menu (without showing it). Unfortunately the context menu of the share is missing the "paste" verb. You can see this by making a short right click on the path above the file list (or a long right click on the empty space below the last item). "Paste" is present in all other Windows versions, just not Windows 10.

The Explorer is showing a different right click menu when right clicking on the background: It seems to be calling IShellView::GetItemObject with SVGIO_BACKGROUND, but this requires a fully visible "shell view" (e.g. what you see in a file open dialog), so I cannot use it.
