TotalCommander take name from filenames too.
And would be nice this feature for new files.

Take a name from a file to create a new directory?
Does it make any sense?

In TC filename used for pre-naming too. Can you add this?

@Mike
Btw, "New <<Folder>>/ with selection" but, "Create <<Directory>>"... Inconsistency or do I miss something?
"Directory" is nice and old skool... 8-)

Ok, I've included regular filenames as a default value too.

I have mixed feeling regarding this terminology.
On the side - yes, Mac terminology tends to stick with a word "Folder".
On the other hand - it's UNIX after all, which has the "mkdir" command, which says:

Code: Select all

MKDIR(1)                  BSD General Commands Manual                 MKDIR(1)
NAME
     mkdir -- make directories
SYNOPSIS
     mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory_name ...
And throughout all Apple's own APIs "Directory" is used everywhere.

Let this be a slight degree of schizophrenia :)
