About "Paste with Path Here"

Post by vsub »

Is there is a way to copy some file for example from
C:\1\2\3\4\file.txt
create new folder in the folder named 2 and paste the file "file.txt" in this way.

C:\1\2\new folder\3\4\file.txt

With "Paste with Path Here" either I'm doing something wrong or I don't understand it because it creates in the "new folder" all of the directories
C:\1\2\new folder\c\1\2\3\4\file.txt

Do you mean "Edit > Paste Special... > Paste Here with Path"?
If yes, since this is an dialog, you can edit the path your own
FROM:
"C:\1\2\new folder\c\1\2\3\4"
TO:
"C:\1\2\new folder\3\4\"

---

But maybe this dialogs needs improvements?

I find it not nifty that this dialog shows the path of the target folder too like:
"C:\1\2\new folder\c\1\2\3\4"

It would be better for modifying the new sub-path if the target path
is not shown in that dialog but the new to add path only, like:
"c\1\2\3\4"
Then it would be easier to modify this to something like:
"3\4"

Or, at least, it should be allowed to remove the taget path ourself
or use something like .\ instead, like:
".\3\4"

I guess I didn't look carefully enough at the text in the dialog...if I did,I wouldn't asked about this :p

And I also think that with your suggestion will be better.
