Hi, I think I've come across a bug with 'CreateFolder' when working in a virtual folder via SSH. I've not tested it via FTP.

If you issue the command `CreateFolder test/data` in a regular filesystem folder, both the `test` and `test\data` folders are created, but when you are in an SSH virtual folder, you will get an error saying

> An error occurred creating folder 'test/data': no such file or directory.

Issuing the individual CreateFolder commands for `test` _then_ `test/data` works. This is different behaviour compared to working on the local filesystem where intermediate folders are always created.

In addition, on the local filesystem, the commnd `CreateFolder test\data` will behave the same as `CreateFolder test/data`. The use of `/` vs `\` doesnt seem to affect it.

In an SSH virtual folder, `CreateFolder test\data` creates a folder called `test\data` which DOpus can no longer work with (It thinks its a directory hierarchy, and errors badly when trying to enter it. DOpus cannot modify or even delete the folder containing the backslash.

I'm finding myself using SSH folder regularly and it's becoming difficult to create macros which work in regular disk folders and SSH locations. It would be much easier if they had the same behaviour.

Thanks

EDIT: This is with 12.10 and 12.10.4, though I remember it happenning in earlier versions, I didnt realize what the problem was.

PS. In all windows dialogs, pressing Ctrl-C will copy the dialog text. Can you implement something similar for DOpus dialogs? It will save typing them out manually, and ensure you get all the detail.
