It is often needed to copy a file to the same directory, only changing its name. A lot of file managers allow to do this via Shift+F5 key combination. But in FC, file just silently being copied to another panel :evil: when it is not expected at all. This is very confusing. It would be good to have s...

When deleting a file, sometimes it is very slow... (access to the hard drive for 10-15 seconds, while GUI is frozen).
I don't remember such an issue with previous FC releases, seen in 2008.06.

It appears that the Extention column is "stuck" and only sorts from A down to Z even if you click on it to toggle between A to Z and Z to A. Yes, and I see the same behavior after defining my own column set. No descending sort by Extension. So - YAB :( Also, (this should probably come to ...

+1, 2008.06 has this problem too.

So sorting by EXTENSION works properly then? It is only sorting by TYPE that does not function as expected? Type and Extension is NOT the same, for example Extension is . i ni, but Type is C onfiguration Settings, or . e xe - A pplication... If Sort by extension works good, then it's not a bug. Wel...

No, the same problem.
Sorting by Type works very strange.

Build 04.2008, bug is still here ((

There are two problems with it:
1. Changing direction of sorting does not work.
2. Alphabetical order is incorrent (for example, *.h.., then *c...., then *.s.., then *.p... etc).

While renaming a file (by F2), if another file with the new name exists in the same directory, it is impossible to replace it.
FC should warn about this, but allow replacing if "Yes" pressed.

Is this version most recent than 2008.06?
Because in 2008.06, the bug is still here.

When there are selected files on the panel, pressing F3 always starts viewer for the 1st selected file, instead of the current one (under cursor).

When a file search is done with "search text in files" option, then it would be nice to have the searched text higlighted automatically in the file content viewer (as it could be done step-by-step now, by clicking on a file that was found, the text is copied to the clipboard, and then F3 i...

I would suggest that starting typing a text would set focus to the command line immediately instead of activating search - better to have search by typing with pressed Alt key.

Yes, workaround is useful, but it is not too convenient. Having this as a separate feature would be much nicer.

According to hotkeys, I mean that they should be pre-defined so user won't need to redefine them again and again every time he installs FC on a new system.
