When Copying a folder there is no display of the name of the folder in question.
The same is true for the panel 'Replace or Ignore'.
Displaying the folder name adds to the security of the operation.

Re: Copy folders
Not sure what you mean. Where exactly would you like to see the name?

Re: Copy folders
In the title would be fine: "Copying xxxxx 53%"

Re: Copy folders
Still not sure which interface you are talking about. In Custom Copy the full path is always stated, and Custom Copy is the only copy interface I can fully control.

Re: Copy folders
The Copy function I have in mind is 'Copy here', invoked by a right-click on a folder, dragging the selected folder to the desired location then selecting 'Copy here' upon release of mouse.
My request is to display the full path of the copied folder in the 'Copy' panel as well as in the 'Replace or ignore the files' panel.
This means adding [Folder to copy] to the line
'Copy of xx elements from [disk name Disk letter] to [destination folder]',
to give
'Copy of xx elements from [disk name Disk letter Folder to copy] to [destination folder]'

Re: Copy folders
Looks like you are talking about the shell copy interface. This is owned by Windows, I cannot change it.
Enable XYplorer's Custom Copy and you get what you need: Configuration | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Use Custom Copy

Re: Copy folders
Thanks for indicating the 'Confguration' option, as 'Custom Copy' is much more informative.
The issue is almost solved, but still, Custom copy displays:
Copied from: [disk unit], not
Copied from: [full folder path]

Re: Copy folders
Yes, at the top of the window it's from-location to-location.
But lower down right above the progress bar, you see the full paths.

Re: Copy folders
I am not adamant about the subject; I simply thought it more appropriate that the name of the folder which is copied appear at the top of the panel, as this is the subject of the panel.
This would mean, instead of displaying From:[parent folder] displaying Copying:[copied folder path].
Have a pleasant end-of-year.

Re: Copy folders
But this would only work when you copy just one item at a time, right? When you select and copy two or more folders you would have to use the current way anyway.
Same to you.

Re: Copy folders
I have not yet found how to 'Copy here' more than one folder at a time...
Never mind, I'll survive (but less comfortably) if the folder name is not displayed where I expect it.
