copy to the same folder?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

The one, and probably only, feature of Windows Explorer
over in M$ Land, is the ability to right click and drag
a file to the same folder in the same window and copy
it with an automatic "-copy" appended to it. I use
the feature a lot for backing up folders I am about to
goof with.

With Krusader, I copy to another window, rename, and move
it back to the original. It is a bit time consuming.

Is there a way to drag it to the same folder as does Window
Explorer?


Many thanks,
-T

Just ctrl-c and ctrl-v and Krusader will suggest you a new name.

Hi again,

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, then typing something. No automatic names yet.

Best regards,

Yuri

Hi Yuri and Sanskrit,

That is easy. Thank you!

Any reason why <ctrl><C> (copy) and <ctrl><v> (paste) are not in
the right click context menu? (Use use context menus a lot.)

Well, they are. Just right click on a file.

Hi,

all you wanna do is automatically copy&rename a file, right? So why don't you use the
predefined user action existing for this purpose: Useractions->System->Backup current

You may want to change "%aCurrent%.old" to "%aCurrent%-copy" in the action command and
remove the "%_Ask(...)%" operation if the rename dialog should be omitted.
All useractions appear in the right-click context menu for a file and you can also give
the action a custom shortcut.

Cheers
Alex
