Target Environment Variable in Copy/Move dialog

#1 Post by RedScorpion » 27.03.2010, 13:37

Hi Marek.

Thanks for the great program !

I have a simple request :
In the file copy/move dialog, can you define an environment variable that will contain the name of the target file/folder ?

I currently use KillCopy, having the following lines in the .ini file:
FileMovePrg=C:\WINNT\system32\killcopy.exe |%ActivSelAsFile%|%InactivDir%|-mrg
FileCopyPrg=C:\WINNT\system32\killcopy.exe |%ActivSelAsFile%|%InactivDir%

However, when I change the name of the target file, it still gets copied with the original source name, because this information doesn't get passed to KillCopy.
If you can define a variable, say, %FileCopyMoveTarget%, this would go like this:
FileCopyPrg=C:\WINNT\system32\killcopy.exe |%ActivSelAsFile%|%FileCopyMoveTarget%

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone.

I think sugested variable 'FileCopyMoveTarget' would be a great idea, because when you are using an external copy/move utility the FC copy/move dialog is not useful and it can fool the user.

I am using TeraCopy and I have the same problem as RedScorpion. Additionally, when I drag and drop a file to a Tab (not the inactive window) the file is not copied/moved to the destination folder shown on the FC dialog, it will be copied/moved to the inactive window.

Thanks in advance.
