[Fixed][10.50 B4] Copying/Moving multiple files to a single file using "F2"(Queue) freezes TC

[Max33Verstappen]

Copying/Moving multiple files to a single file by pressing "Enter" or by clicking "OK" brings up a warning Msg Box -- "you cannot move or copy more than one file to a single file!".
But doing so by pressing "F2" or by clicking "Queue" freezes TC and it can only be terminated forcefully.

E.g. Copying multiple files to "c:\a" (without trailing back slash), where "a" doesn't exist.

Confirmed for Dark mode only.

Unfortunately this cannot be fixed, see:

The only solution would be to remove the warning completely.

Couldn't you check if the target is a single file before closing the copy dialog and sending it to the background transfer manager?

The actual problem is one can sometimes forget to put the trailing backslash and the purpose is to copy/move to that folder.
With the trailing backslash, like "C:\a\", TC creates it if it doesn't exist.

I think a practical fix is that when multiple files are selected and the target is a single file, it should be treated as a folder -- like what TC does when the folder exists -- and created if not there.

That's a good idea, I will do this. Additionally I will show the normal (not dark) message box when the main thread is busy as in this case.

Tested using TC10.50b6 32bit and 64bit dark mode.

I get a dark error message saying multiple files cannot be copied to a single file. After I click OK, the background transfer manager is closed and all is OK.

So seems to be fixed.

There was a related bug caused by this fix in beta 5:

But it looks like both are fixed now. Thanks for your tests!
