Paste item missing?
You've recently added a "Copy" item on the ctxt menu of Catalog, but ever since a while now the Paste operation is also supported (when destination is a folder of course), so maybe it should be added there aswell, cause right-click paste in way more easy/intuitive to do I think than Alt+Click and Ctrl+V

I'm pretty sure I mentionned it somewhere else already, but along with Paste if Catalog items could have the "Paste Special" submenu it would be really cool!
Cause right now I have to click to go to location to paste into a new subfolder, which isn't that cool, especially since it's on network so XY might need to get lots of data (to fill the Tree) that I don't really need then
Also, I noticed network folders, on Tree, don't get on their ctxt menu the "Full Collapse/Expand" items, why? I tried enabling "check existence of subfolders... on network aswell" but it doesn't seem to be linked. I think it's be cool to have them here too; cause I sometimes need to manually go through every single subfolders (recursively) of a folder to do some checking, etc and I like to have that branch fully expanded when I do that (and I'm lazy, I don't like clicking all the little "plus" signs)

Done.
Thanks, you're the best:
2 quick things while I'm here:
- Why add "Paste Here to New Subfolder" and not "Paste Special" ? It's all good for me, but you'd have the force move/copy options available from there aswell then... so I wonder what the reason is?
- What about adding those clipboard commands to the ctxt menu on tab' headers? Cause right now we have to activate the tab (ie. change location, etc) just to paste items here. I know drag&drop works on tab headers, but it's not really the same, plus some people or on some occasion one might like/want to use clipboard more than d&d.

1. I wanted to preselect the best choices for you. Choosing is working, and you have enough other things to do.jacky wrote:2 quick things while I'm here:

2. Paste and PHTNS? It's an idea... later.
