Relative copy/move renames file

[allen]

I was attempting to move a file via the move to dialog using a relative path -- obviously, this isn't an implemented feature but I would love it to be! The problem is, I don't get any sort of error message when I attempt to perform this action. Instead I get some unexpected results.

I attempted to move imageName.txt to folderName -- folderName being an existing folder in the current directory. Instead of being moved into the folder, however, I found the file in the xyplorer program directory renamed to folderName. If the folder does exist (within the application directory), the file is properly moved, rather than renamed -- though to a directory relative to the application starting folder rather than the active directory in view in the explorer.

I'd love to be able to move files/folders to relative locations -- speed things up when I know where I want to move them and don't want to navigate through the tree popup -- and not have to manually type out the full location. If nothing else though, it seems there should be some sort of an error displayed for an invalid location. Perhaps a warning that my file will be moved to the program active directory and renamed :P

Oh yeah, very good!

(a) I added the possibility to state paths relative to the current path.

EDIT: now I see you probably mean things like "..\..\blah\" -- note that I did not add this but currently (ie next version) only support paths under the current path.

(b) I pop up a message "The destination you have selected does not exist!" (Hey, English folks: wording okay?) when the destination can't be found and quit the operation.

Excellent! Actually, I was just refering to forward relative to the current location, but the inclusion of backwards navigation (eventually) makes it even better -- Thanks!

Sounds good to me.

... I pop up a message "The destination you have selected does not exist!"

How about "The target folder does not exist!"

I'd vote for using "destination" text over "target"...
