Copy or move files to parent folder >> should not check the opposite panel

Post by *ddcro »

Hi guys,

I'm writing to suggest a improvement(bug fix?). When using F5 or F6 to copy/move files I need in most cases to move files up to the parent folder, so after selecting the files and pressing F6 for example, I write ".." instead of the default "<driveletter:>\*.*

It works nice, but if the opposite panel is an archive with password it asks for a password, or if the opposite panel has a folder with a lot of files, it takes a long time, like it's checking and building a list with the files/folders even if I don't need to move the files there, just in the parent directory. So I suggest in code to check if the special case of .. is present (or even ../.. that I also use to move files up 2 folders ) , so basically if the textbox contains/starts with .. should not check the opposite panel / folder.

Thank you.
Regards
Daniel
