[Suggestion]Automatically create non-exist folder by F5/F6

[KevinMo]

If user specify a non-exist path for destination in F5 (Copy) or F6 (Move) dialog box, TC pops up: "The given target path H:\blahblah is invalid!".

I'm wondering why TC doesn't create that folder. Now user have to press TAB>F7>new_folder_name>enter>TAB>F6, which is a bit inconvenient :(

I wonder too, not for the first time.

Here is a bit detailed explanation:

Code: Select all

(Target path)   Single File Selected     Multiple Files Selected
C:\XXX          C:\XXX                   You can't copy or move more than one file into a single file!
C:\XXX\         The given target path "target_path" is invalid!

In my opinion, instead of three error message box, TC should create folder C:\XXX, and put the files in it.

Eh, support, of course. But who cares...

I think it's good that TC doesn't automatically create the folder.

However, on the displayed error message it should give the option to create the folder and copy/move the file(s) anyway.
In this case the message will really be a warning and not necessarilly error anymore.

So the dialog should look like this:

Code: Select all

  /\   The give taget path
 / !\  some\path
       is invalid!

Do you want to create it?

 |  OK  |     | Abort |

Agree ~ I think that's a good idea :)

Maybe an example would help :)
Suppose I have a folder D:\downloads with lots of unsorted files, and I want to categorize them into E:\collection\somename1, somename2, etc.
What I have to do now is first press TAB>F7>somename1>enter>TAB>F6. and then TAB>Backspace>TAB since the target panel has changed.
IMHO, it's quite a bit annoying :|

I don't need any example. I know already it is annoying.
Christian also doesn't need any example, because he was surely already given several of them.

I just not sure if I made it clear @_@, since I'm not a native English speaker.
Sorry if that bothers you <(__)>

It's ambiguous if there is no backslash at the end, but I could add it if the user explicitly gives a backslash. What do you think?

What do you think?

Sounds good.

[XPEHOPE3KA]

What do you think?

Even better than what was requested (better - at least for me)

[KevinMo]

What do you think?

That would be great (^o^)
Thanks, Mr. Ghisler!
