link/move/copy dialogue

good idea ... BUT

this whole link/copy dialogue is only a poor imitation of a full-featured second data explorer pane (which is badly needed IMHO) ... so rather than improving this dialogue I'd like to see second data explorer and this suggestion would apply there as well ... http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthre...&threadid=3137

Well, not exactly. I think you are missing something quant.

A second data explorer would be a good feature also and I think it can cohabit with the Link/Move dialog. Let me explain:

1. UR has a feature "Option to prompt for import location when importing from another application" that uses the Link/Move dialog. This is at least one use of the dialog that a second data explorer couldn't imitate.

2. There might be more that one circumstances where the user wouldn't want to clutter UR layout with another instance of the explorer.

3. The Link/Move dialog has an idiosyncrasy of its own (to my understanding) when dealing with linking or copying stuffs.

4. Other uses I can't come up with now .
