Advanced Move selects full path including filename (different from 1.4)

Post by qrqrqrqr »

Hello,

I found a behavior difference in Advanced Move between version 1.4 and 1.5 alpha.

In Everything 1.4

Advanced Move selects only the folder path
Example:
C:\test\file.jpg → only "C:\test" is selected
So I can type:
A:
Result:
A:\file.jpg

This is very fast and useful for moving files between drives.

In Everything 1.5 alpha:

Advanced Move selects the full path including filename
Example:
C:\test\file.jpg → entire string is selected
If I type "A:", it replaces everything

So now I must type:
A:%filename%

This makes the workflow slower.

Suggestion:

Option to select only folder path (like 1.4)
Or keep filename automatically when changing drive

This would help for fast file moving workflows.

Thank you.

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention qrqrqrqr,

The next alpha update will select the path part when doing an advanced move/copy.
