Copy/move order

Post by JohnM »

Hi All,

There was a change recently that affected the sequencing of the files in a copy/move operation so that they are copied/moved in the order that they are displayed in the LV.

My question is should this change affect *all* copy/move operations, regardless of *how* they are initiated?

In my case when I copy a set of files using the "Copy here to new subfolder" right-click option, the copy starts with the focused file, not the first in the list. For example, a file list could look like this:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt <- this has focus
file4.txt

Using "Copy here to new subfolder", the files copied in this order: file3.txt, file4.txt, file1.txt and file2.txt.

Cheers

Yes, this is correct. It's not possible otherwise at the moment (would take a larger rewrite to ignore the focus position in shell context menu as well).
