outstanding response Philb66!!

glad to see we finally (!!) got a result (no thanks to me...)

If you're not whale heeled we can play for lower steaks, those for tuna lately won't cost as much.

I asked for ham, and you served me corn...

Your masterpiece now done.
A striking feat
To dodge a ghastly pun!

@Target

Are you going to add "duplicate to" functionality? Would like that very much.

how would that be implemented - alternative hotkeys? (I asked this elsewhere in the thread)

A different hotkey combination to access this functionality would do.

This is a neat tool but I've noticed that when copying a folder, it becomes just a file.
