Internet files & folder connection

[Guest]

The problem is with the internet files & folder attached. If you select the internet's file to delete, all it's ok : it goes to the trash with is own folder. If you want to move or copy the internet's files, it's copied or moved alone (without is own folder) Why ? The windows explorer don't do this mistake.

Connecting Files

With Microsoft Windows 2000 or later, it is possible to connect an HTML file with a folder that contains related files such as Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images or style sheets. If file connection is enabled, when you move or copy the HTML file, the folder and all of its files are moved or copied as well. Conversely, if you move the folder with the related files, the HTML file is also moved.

The HTML file must have a .htm or .html extension. You create the connection to the related files by placing the folder that contains them into the same folder as the HTML file. The name of the folder that contains the connected files must be the same as the name of the HTML file followed by "_files" or ".files" (this is case sensitive; for example, ".Files" does not work).

Servant Salamander doesn't support this file+directory connection. We could implement it as optional feature.

Moving to the Feature Requests.

Just small remark from same source:

Note that the use of a folder with a name like "MyFile_files" to define a connection may not be valid for localized versions of Microsoft Windows NT. The term "files" may need to be replaced by the equivalent word in the local language.

- This means, that the "files" part can be in many languages, but the connection works on every Windows instalation independetly on UI language.

I made this set of of files and folders:
test1.html
test1_soubory [soubory is Czech equivalent for files]
test2.html
test2_files
test3.html
test3_fichiers [fichiers is French equivalent for files]
-> copying the html files on English WinXPSP2 (with Czech regional settings) in Explorer also copied all connected folders.

Another test involved three folders for one html file:
test.html
test_fichiers
test_files
test_soubory
-> only test_files was copied with the file

This seems to be list of all possible directory "extensions": http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=252721
