TC11.x bug reports (English) • cm_copy / cm_copysamepanel: Bug?

Hi

the cm_copy command takes several options, including the /Ox option to specify the overwrite behavior.
Specifically, /O5 and /O6 will rename the source or the target file automatically.

Now, I wanted to useto create a user command that simply duplicates the current file with renaming (/O6) into the same directory (/T=".") without displaying a dialog box (/G).

However, what I get is the error message "You cannot copy a file to itself!"
The point is, due to the requested renaming, I'm actually not trying to copy the file to it itself.
Thus, cm_copy should not show the error message but simply take a copy of the file with renaming.

I guess this is a bug. Otherwise, I suggest to treat /O5 and /O6 as described before and simply take a copy of the file with renaming.

Side note: There is a command cm_copysamepanel for which history.txt says
In fact, cm_copysamepanel does not seem to support any options (therefore, it is *not* the "same" as cm_copy) and thus cannot be invoked without showing the dialog or specifying the overwrite behavior. Maybe this could be changed/added as well for the parameters for which it makes sense.
