Bug: Parent Paste does not create an entry in the Undo History.

Post by raccoon »

Using the action Result List | Parent | Paste will not create an entry in the Undo History for items you have Copied (Copy or Parent-Copy) or Moved (Cut or Parent-Cut).

Additionally. Parent-Paste will only paste copied objects into the first selected object's Path. The expected behavior should be No Action, or paste into all selected object Paths, or prompt for an 'Are You Sure?' confirmation when multiple objects are selected as paste targets.

Thank you for the feedback raccoon,
Using the action Result List | Parent | Paste will not create an entry in the Undo History for items you have Copied (Copy or Parent-Copy) or Moved (Cut or Parent-Cut).
I've added basic support for undo history when pasting in the next alpha update.
It's not perfect, because Everything doesn't know if the paste was successful.
(There's no feedback from the "paste" verb)

Additionally. Parent-Paste will only paste copied objects into the first selected object's Path. The expected behavior should be No Action, or paste into all selected object Paths, or prompt for an 'Are You Sure?' confirmation when multiple objects are selected as paste targets.
It's a limitation with Everything (and the OS).
Pasting is handled by the OS.
Everything will execute the selection with the PASTE verb.
Items will only be pasted into the first selected folder.

It's on my TODO list to add support for pasting into multiple selected folders.
