Perfect. Thanks.

Could you please give a little steroid to SC moveto and copyto - allow a way to supress the rich-copy dialog.

The dialog asks a question. You want me decide for you?

No, I would decide in a scripted way.

If we go in a branch view and are invoking a script, I would know what I am doing. I am always hitting a No in this case and could always use a predetermined No in such scenarios. There can be four completely independent possibilites here (3 options - yes, no, cancel or show the dialog).

On the same lines, copyto and move to can make use of the on_collision field which is available for backupto. I often goto help file to see the format and stop after seeing it is backupto only. Occasionaly, do think about (ab)using backupto + delete instead of moveto, but drop the idea as it would involve actual bit copies of large files.

P.S. - I never asked before for on_collision because of the subtle difference in parameters for these 3 ops (and wrote this out of flow today)

Having to answer the Rich Copy prompt can be a real annoyance when collecting files in on place. I had to do it at least a thousand times last year, when flattening folders manually in Branch View * and later using a script **. An override on this prompt for scripting, at least, would be a big help in such cases.

Why not simply use backupto()?

I already answered that

BackupTo is an alternative to CopyTo. Not a very good alternative for MoveTo for moves on the same partition.

OK, but that wish is more complex than it might seem. Maybe next year.

can formatdate() support msecs

?
    formatdate(property('System.DateCreated',$f), 'yyyy.dd.mm_hh.nn.ss.fff')

It does already, but property('System.DateCreated') does not return any msecs. The shell dumbs down NTFS data and ignores the msec part.

Getting the exact time now, for instance:

*bump*

I apparently forgot to bump this old wish but I found myself with another need for it today...

This wish comes with free documentation!

+1 to TQ's wish.

Please andAnd please add a separator parameter to thumbsconf, continuing the setlayout parallel.

Ok, and Ok.

Can't resist a copy+paste job.

Thank you!

Guess I should do some digging because I know you've resisted a few in the past and now might be a good time to bump them!

Noooo, mercy!!!
