WinNc 7.8.0.0 Folder copy fails from left to right view
I have seen this happen a couple of times, where both the left and right view point to the same location.

  • Press 'copy' for one folder and change it's name.
  • Copy will complete with errors. See log report below.
    • The error reports fails to create folder in the wrong place.
  • New folder created  and empty.
  • Original folder has either ;
    • Empty folder created named destination folder
    • zero byte file named destination folder.

Is this a known bug?
My work-around is not to create folder within the same folder, which is no problem. I just really wanted to make you aware of this issue.

This is indeed a bug. The reason why it is not working is that it tries to copy the folder into a new file (which is not possible). Normally if you copy a file e.g. Readme.txt to another name, you can use 'copy' and enter the new name, e.g. ReadMeNow.txt. If you have multiple files, you can use a wildcart e.g. copy to "*.bak". It doesn't work correctly for folders.
