Custom Move cancel

[Stef123]

I am not sure if this counts as a bug, maybe I just have different expectations what's supposed to happen when I click Cancel. ATM it seems to be the same as Skip ALL for conflicts, but it moves all the other stuff nonetheless. Not what I want. If was hoping it would cancel out immediately and not follow through on any moves at all, conflict or not.

Hm, not the case here. Cancel cancels the whole remaining job.

Thanks for checking up on this. Maybe I need a break , might have been fooled by different sort orders in both panes.

While we're at it - 2 operations have a much higher frequency than the rest, Skip ALL and Move ALL. Which is why other managers offer them directly. I am fine with the rest being offered in the dropdown, but it were great to have those 2 directly accessible.

One way to achieve this - holding Ctrl turns the caption Skip into "Skip ALL", and OK "into Move all", but I'd be fine with any way of getting these 2 out of the dropdown.

The checkbox ("Do this also for the next collisions") is not enough?

Well, let me put it down in click currency:
1 = open dropdown
2 = scan the list and choose Skip
3 = enable checkbox "do this for...."
4 = click OK

Totals 4 clicks instead of one, for an operation that is likely to be one of the most heavily used in a file manager. Amounts to a hundred clicks in the course of a workday, not adding up the price you pay in a week or month.

Not to mention that next time I do the same thing for Overwrite all, and then for Suffix all. Which for me is the only close runner-up to the #1 and #2 champions. If these 2 were outside, I could leave Suffix selected in the dropdown, et voila - we'd have 3 options at direct access. If that doesn't suffice, well, THEN the dropdown is good to have. Once in a while, not every go-around as it is the case now.

What if "Do this also for the next collisions" would also affect the Skip button? Would that help?

And I like the CTRL idea: it would be an alternative to ticking "Do this also for the next collisions".

ANYthing would help that speeds it up, especially the heavily used Skip all.
This is not something I have idly thought up in my spare time, it was born in the nitty-gritty of daily workloads. And it stuck with me, very persistently. So I kept wondering what makes me spend so much time on this dialog.

I had memorized key sequences - S for skip several times, Alt N to enable the checkbox, I had tried to use SyncSelect instead - but none of it matches the smooth and slick workflow I am used to. Not that I am fixed on having it a certain way, clicking with modifier keys is fine, the checkbox affecting the skip-button is great, too. In fact, I had considered suggesting a similar solution, putting a checkbox next to Skip or having 3 checkboxes, easing up on the dropdown.

Thanks for considering it, I am open to further ideas. What you said so far sounds good.

The CTRL thing is difficult. I did the other for now.

Thanks.
Much better now. I hope it won't confuse others. No damage possible, though, it only affects Skip. MIght be more obvious if you removed the skip entry from the entry.
