Address box supporting search of history based on a string

This is similar to a browser. When I put a string inside the browser url box it shows a list of all urls with that string included from the history. Would be a very useful feature to have in XY. Of course if the string is C: then its useless (like saying www in the browser), but user can choose wise...

Option to disable tooltip when mouse on XY

Its very annoying sometimes when the tooltip just keeps popping up all the time showing file information as I run through the files in a directory to browse.
There should be an option to disable.

EASY Search for file/folder when you start typing with ALT

Relative path (copy) similar to CTRL-P for absolute path

It would be nice to have a CTRL+* where * is some other letter, that would copy to the clipboard the path relative to another path (assuming its on the same drive) that can be set. By default this can be the XYplorer.exe file. This helps in filling the portable file associations for other portable a...

Report (specify number of levels)

It would be nice to be able to specify the number of levels to get the report for.
E.g. for tree structure, if we specify the number of levels or depth as 3, it would
go only 3 levels

Unable to create a copy of a folder

When I tried to copy a folder it complains
that another folder of the same name exists.
It should instead make a copy just as windows explore does.

E.g
