    Wishlist: Create files in folder compare.

    Consider the following steps:

    Compare two directories.
    Double click to view a left side orphan.
    File view opens with the right side empty.
    Copy selected lines from left to right.
    Click save.

    Current behavor: Error

    Desired behavor: A new file is created with the same name and metadata as the origin on the left, containing just the lines coppied across.

    I know that this issue is easy to work arround by first copying the file while in folder comparison mode, and then editing it in file comparison, but it would be nice not to have to do two steps, and if the source file is large and I only want a few lines, then the two step method could be slow.

      In addition, what error prompt are you seeing? I would expect a Save dialog to a default location (without a file name) depending on the OS.
