I think it can be seen as a bug, despite being pretty "light"...
Using M/C/B To through window GUI, when using as destination the source, nothing happens. That makes sense, but the usual "Cannot do it dummy, both source&destination are the same" message is missing.
If not only for consistency, because if one enters/selects a wrong path one might wonder what's happenning?

Re: Move/Copy/Backup To
I get the expected error message from the shell, whether I M/C/B through menu or through GUI.

I fixed it by internally checking the correct capitalization of the target.admin wrote:Ah, right. But only with Move, not with Copy. It's actually a (new to me) shell bug! If Explorer had a MoveTo you would see it there, too.jacky wrote:oh ok, my bad. The bug is elsewhere: the check for similar path is case sensitive! move D:\file to d:\ and you'll get no message!
