Hi,
there's one thing that prevents me from using MultiCommander smoothly which is a pity. This is how it behaves when creating a copy of a folder inside the same folder.
I'm used to how it worked in Norton Commander and other similar file managers. MultiCommander does it accordingly only for files: Select/mark the file, press F5, enter the new name, press enter.
Unfortunately, for folders, MultiCommander does not make simply a copy of the folder but instead copies it as a subfolder of a new folder with the given new name. For me this seems plain wrong. Maybe it could work like this if the new name ends with a backslash.
So. is this behaviour really intended? Can it be customized to work like I would expect?
Thanks
Jeff

It is because it comes in conflict with other features.
But if you do F5, Enter NewName, Ctrl+P, Arrow down, then Return to start copy.. it works..
(Ctrl+P changes focus to FileOp Plugin box, and arrow down select the first that is Folder Content, that copy the folder content )
(Yes, it is two more keys and that is a pain, But can be change to just one extra key by assigning the the FileOpPlugin settings to quick load preset. then it is just an extra F-x key
like eg F5, Enter Name , F1, Return )

Thank you for these explanations!
The problem is not only the additional keypress - but the force of habit...
