hi.
I want to copy files to the folder in the same path with "copy to dialog", when I type the character '\', it drops down a list with folders in current drive but current dir.
I think the better way is when user typing a char, for example 'd', the drop-down list shows folders begin with 'd' under current dir, just like Address Bar, if not finding, creates the folder at current dir.
does "copy to dialog" have auto-complete feature?

Hm, this already works here exactly as you describe it.

Really?
It seems not to be valid in my computer.

For relative path type \ as first letter.

Shouldn't we expect \ to be the root of the current drive?admin wrote:For relative path type \ as first letter.
(*Very* old convention from DOS-times, but see current commands like cd, dir, ...)
So if something should be relative to the current directory it could start with .\
..\ would be one directory higher,
\ root of current drive,
c:\user is what it says, ...

Agreed -- if I'm in c:\temp, according to the decades-old convention, the following should resolve:PeterH wrote:Shouldn't we expect \ to be the root of the current drive?admin wrote:For relative path type \ as first letter.

The \ is not my idea. This like the shell auto-complete works. I just hooked the Edit box to this built in Windows feature. Actually I plan for about 7 years to write my own version of it, because the shell auto-complete has a couple of drawbacks and side-effects. Maybe this year...
