Description
It's very useful to slightly alter file name while copy/move file.
Currently it's possible to do using either "source mask" feature or by manually adding full file name to destination path in "to:" input. Masks isn't really intuitive and ease to use for this simple task, it's much more ease just to modify destination file name - this way it works both in mc-mp and far. Also, masks probably much more useful while copy/move multiple files, while just editing old file name is good while copy/move single file.
I propose to automatically append file name to path in "to:" input in F5/F6 dialog windows when only one file (or directory!) involved in copy/move operation.

I propose the attached patch to src/file.c. Works fine for me.

paste original filename into "to:" field

szaszg:
sorry FOR the late response... your feature already has been implemented.
just define 'Store' and 'Paste' in the 'input' section.
You can copy current filename if press shortcut of the 'Store' action (in my case is 'ctrl-c' Store = ctrl-c)
If more than one file is marked then all marked filenames will be stored in to clipboard.
NB: command prompt must be enabled.

Am I understood this correctly: to edit name of copying/moving file I have to
- (once) manually define Paste=ctrl-c
- (every time)
- before F5/F6 press alt-w (default Store)
- press F5/F6
- if forget to alt-w: Esc-Esc-alt-w-F5/F6
- press ctrl-c
- if just realized forget to alt-w: Esc-Esc-alt-w-F5/F6-ctrl-c
How do you call this… let me guess… oh, yeah, it's USABILITY!!
What's wrong with inserting file name by default when copy/move one file?

just use - S-F5/F6 in this case.

Replying to angel_il:

You mean:
. F5/F6 to copy/move to target dir
. Tab
. S-F5/F6 to rename
. Tab
And even this will fail if target dir already have file with original name.
Don't get me wrong, I can live (actually I do all these years) without this feature. And I'm in no way insist it MUST!!!111 be added or I'll become crazy and kill someone. :) But this is really cute small feature, which increase usability and compatibility with other file managers, won't break anything, and can't be easily replaced by anything else like alt-w or S-F5/F6.

As I say in Ticket#2993:
... it is not the same. With s-f5/s-f6 the target directory for copy/move is where the file exists (current_dir), not the other panel's directory (other_dir)... now, how can i copy the other_dir name into "to:"? :-(
