Copy/move to the folder shortcut doesn't work as expected

Post by yuyu »

I made a search through the changelog and found this:

Code: Select all

v6.70.0003 - 2007-12-21 10:10
  +++ Now you can drag-drop items onto *.LNK files (aka Shortcuts) in 
      List and Catalog. A drop is allowed if the LNK target is a folder 
      or a file that accepts dropping (EXE, BAT, CMD, ZIP, etc.).
However, currently when doing copy or move by drag&drop or paste to the folder shortcut:
- there is no confirmation dialog
- tags are not retained
- operation isn't added to the UNDO queue
So copy or move operations to the folder shortcut are performed by WE, not by XYplorer. Same behavior on fresh profile.
Is this by design? Or is this a bug?
I use latest beta on Win 7 x64.
