Re: [MiNT] Teradesk options (case closed)

[Matthias Arndt <marndt@asmsoftware.de>]

Hello together,

Djordje responded and it seems there is a small bug. The mentioned "All"
button is on the subdialogue and not the one I copied. But it only
appears if multiple folders are selected.

It seems the fix is not too complicated and Djordje will probably
release a fix in the near future.

Case closed, user happy :)

Yes. In fact the current behaviour of TeraDesk in this respect is not
the 
intended one! This has somehow slipped unnoticed until now. I have
looked
at it, and as far as I can see the problem appears only if you try to
copy-overwrite exactly one folder-type item. Otherwise (i.e. with more
than one

item) two additional buttons appear in the name-conflict dialog and
serve the 
function that you want. 

I think that I can fix this in about a week and release an update of
Teradesk. 
The actual change will be only a couple of lines of code in one file,
but 
currently I have some organizational issues with my computers (where to
keep 
the master instance of the source, where to compile TeraDesk and from
which 
computer to upload files)  so I think I will need about a week :(

I hope this will help. Meanwhile, you can try copying two folders in one
operation to see what it will look like when corrected.


Best regards,

Djordje
