598 F5 copy to File Container does not use dialog

#1 Post by Scott_Y » 29.08.2012, 09:44

When I copy a file using F5 to a normal tab, a dialog opens. But when I F5-copy to a file container tab, the copy is done immediately, without a dialog. I suspect that is because the options available in the dialog are not appropriate when mirroring to a file container. Therefore this is probably not a bug. (This happens with either "Use Windows Copy" or "Use FC Copy.")

Nevertheless, the difference in action causes a problem because my habit is to hit F5 then Enter in quick sequence to close the dialog. When the destination is a file container, the Enter unintentionally opens the original file (because there is no dialog to close).

To get around this, I have reassigned F5 to plain Copy (without dialog). Any thoughts on this situation?
