It is also a real pity that the developer used to listen to user's advice and respond to bug notifications but that is no longer the case! I do not like that, and I believe that I am not the only one! However in some folders (with only few subfolders inside) the regular 'Paste' command works properly and that is not only confusing but can also lead to mistakes! So the only way to actually (successfully) paste is to use Ctrl+V.
If there is no space to right-click, it is unavoidable that a subfolder will be selected!!! The paste options are not grayed out at the destination side but clicking on 'Paste' will only paste inside the selected subfolder! I also cannot cut files on one pane and paste them in the other! Whereas right-click cut/copy-and-paste will NOT work: The (test) file gets unavoidably copied inside the (sub)folder which is selected by the right-click. In my system (XP SP3 with Q-Dir 4.444) using Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V or drag-and-drop will work properly and will paste that (test) file in the "C:\WINDOWS\" folder. Thanks for your confirmation, which I sincerely hope will prove that I am doing something wrong myself and this is not Q-Dir's bug. QUESTION: Does your (test) file get copied in the actual C:\WINDOWS\ folder or inside the (sub)folder which happened to be selected by your right-click?
