An indication for files copied

[hari3]

I want a visual indication(like showing the files getting copied,when i drag the files on to the tab) for copy and move operations.

I'll try and help you, but not 100% if I am understanding, if you have this setting enabled:

Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Use Custom Copy

and these setting disabled:

Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | No progress dialog on duplications
Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | No progress dialog on intra-volume moves

And press the following button:

Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Configure...

and make sure "Show Progress Dialog" is enabled, then you should see progress dialogs shouldn't you?

in fact even if you just disable Custom Copy, you should see progress dialogs also.

edit: Oops, sorry I didn't realize this was posted in Wishes, I thought it was is T&T Q&A

If windows explorer show's this indication a file manger like XY show do it better than that.

Don,please please i kindly request you to add this feature,it will be a little nice addition.

Still not sure what you mean. Can you make a mockup screenshot?

In the following example,say i have copied some files from C:\ and dropped them on macrium tab. I should get a visual indication(a rectangle like box) when i place the cursor on the macrium tab. See screenshot ---

There is not enough place, it would cover other tabs...

But what about the Status Bar? Not a bad idea to show the full target path in the Status Bar while dragging over a target.

[hari3]

If it covers other tabs,at least make it show(visual indication) in small font size.

I was having an idea... I'm working on something cool...

Check beta v18.80.0005 ...

Code: Select all

      - Additionally it's color-coded:
        Brown = Move
        Blue = Copy
        Purple = Create Shortcut
        Graphite = Add to Paper Folder
      - Tip: You can check out the colors by forcing different modes via keyboard:
        Hold SHIFT        -> Brown = Move
        Hold CTRL         -> Blue = Copy
        Hold CTRL+SHIFT   -> Purple = Create Shortcut

like this feature! don't know if changing drag action with Ctrl/Shift was already there, but now i get to know about it and will use it.
hope later there be a tweak later to edit colors for user's liking.

1) it was already there

2) so you don't like my colors

Would it be too much effort to split the <what is copied> into
1. Files
2. Folders

E.g.:
Move / Copy 3 Files | 5 Folders to:
<path>

Wow, looks really nice.



The nice border made me immediately expect images to be previewed on left drag.

[klownboy]

Very nice indeed.

A couple of minor issues though:
- If I press escape while dragging to cancel the move or copy, the box stays on screen and even changing the current folder does not remove the box. It doesn't happen every time but quite frequently going to tree or tab.
- It only works for me on left dragging (with left dragging allowed in Config). It does not work for right dragging anywhere. I'm not sure if that was intended. It might be welcome on right drag as well even though we'll get a type of move / copy selection context menu box on right drag.
