I hope the following is possible:
When I copy/move one file, then i want a dialog popup with the name of the destination path + filename already in it.
So that when I press Enter, it copies/moves the file to the destination panel instantly.
When I want to copy/move a selection of files, I want a dialog popup with the destination path already in it.
Also, when I put '..' in the dialog will it copy/move my selection to the parent directory?
Parts 1 & 2 are a bit unclear. Do you want to copy it to the destination? That would be simple: COPY TO DEST, resp. COPY MOVE TO DEST. You can include that in -> preferences -> filetypes -> edit -> all files & folders -> context menu -> new, which will put that in your right click context menu.
If you want to chose the destination, you can use
@set dir = "{dlgfolder|copy to}"
Copy TO {$dir}
resp. the same with COPY MOVE. Moving files one level up ist done by using COPY MOVE to .. You can make a button, a user command (launched from the CLI) or use a hotkey.
I have to add, if you want to use ENTER for such actions, it does not seem to be a good idea to use that key. It is already in use to open files or folders, ZIPs, etc., i´d recommend to use another key instead, perhaps Ctrl-Enter.

This is not what I mean.
At first I use 2 panels mostly.
When I have a selection made and press my copy or move button, then I want a dialog to popup with 2 lines:
First line with the name of the file already filled in, if my selection is just 1 file. Else this line is not necessary.
Second line with the name of the destination folder already filled in, but still selectable. So that I can wipe that second line and put something in like '..' or whatever.
This gets close, but it doesnt hold the destination folder already selected.
@set dir = "{dlgfolder|Folder to copy to}"
Copy TO {$dir}
The inputfield holds the name of the most recent used folder.
Is there a way to put then name of the other panel in it?
Try this:
Copy TO="{dlgfolder|Select Copy destination:|{destpath}}"[quote="kenalcock"]Try this:
Copy TO="{dlgfolder|Select Copy destination:|{destpath}}"This is right what I am looking for. Awesome...thank you very much!
Copy Move TO="{dlgfolder|Select MOVE destination:|{destpath}}"
I noticed that with a selection of more than 1 file, then the dialog window pop ups for each file in the selection.
Is there a way to make an option to move the whole selection in one time after the first dialog? Like an "All" option?
If you use the variable system as an intermediary then you will only be prompted once, e.g.:
@Set dest = {dlgfolder|Select MOVE destination:|{destpath}}
Copy Move TO {$dest}
Alternatively, you can just use Copy MOVE TO=ask which does effectively the same thing.
This should do it:
@set dir = "{dlgfolder|Select Copy destination:|{destpath}}"
Copy TO {$dir}[quote="jon"]If you use the variable system as an intermediary then you will only be prompted once, e.g.:

This works indeed, but now it puts the most recent used folder in the dialog box instead of the destination folder.
Is it possible to have the destination folder in the dialog box again?
I found it....its just $ behind destpath
So its:
@Set dest = {dlgfolder|Select MOVE destination:|{destpath$}}
Copy Move TO {$dest}
