Title: Duplicating a file Post by: offsky on July 06, 2006, 04:54:57 PM What is the first thing that everyone does after they duplicate a file? They rename the duplicated file or move it someplace.
Moving it is easy, but renaming it requires some extra clicks. I suggest that when you duplicate a file, the filename of the copied file should be immediatly selected so that you can start typing the new filename. Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: spacific on July 07, 2006, 06:24:27 AM Yes, excellent idea, it would be nice if the Finder did that as well.
At present the original file remains selected so you can't even hit Return to rename, you have to navigate to the new file. Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: JD on July 07, 2006, 08:02:27 PM Ok, I'll look into that too :)
Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: offsky on October 10, 2006, 12:27:10 PM I was really hoping that this would make it into the next version, but I dont see it in the latest beta. Any chance it can still get in by 1.5.2?
Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: JD on October 10, 2006, 03:57:38 PM I'm sorry, this kinda slipped my attention. I'll see what I can do :)
Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: spacific on October 11, 2006, 12:02:00 AM Another related point may be worth changing. When a file is renamed, after pressing Return the filename reverts to the original for a while, as if Yummy didn't know you just changed it. Then of course a refresh from the server gets it right, but this is a little disconcerting.
Better to change the display to the new name and then still refresh to make sure all is well. Thanks. Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: JD on October 11, 2006, 05:02:59 AM Yes, that's easily fixed. Thanks for bringing it up :)
The auto-rename after duplication issue is a little more tricky, however. I'm working on it... Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: JD on October 12, 2006, 07:45:26 PM The rename / revert / update tweak has now been implemented.
Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: JD on October 12, 2006, 08:25:56 PM The auto-rename after duplication is now also implemented :)
Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: spacific on October 12, 2006, 11:42:05 PM What a hero! :D
Will there be a beta-14 for us to try? Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: JD on October 13, 2006, 01:50:25 AM hehehe ;D
Yes, I'll send another beta around shortly. Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: spacific on October 20, 2006, 05:53:14 PM Works beautifully. Thanks.
EXCEPT!! Because of the optional change to the action of the "Return" key (see other thread), when I rename a file and then press Return the file opens. This is a surprise. I think that while editing a filename Return should always just complete the edit and no more (whatever the setting of the Return key action). Title: Re: Duplicating a file Post by: JD on October 20, 2006, 05:58:50 PM Obviously a bug and already fixed in a later build :)
