When in folder compare view, if I'm copying from one side to the other, the "Copy to Side" confirmation dialog says that the "Selected folder contains items hidden by display or file filters". This is correct as I cannot see everything that will be copied at the moment. The dialog also indicates that 1 file and 1 folder are to be copied.
However, if I click the little button with the image of an eye on it to show me these hidden files, I see way too many items. These items are in the folder that will be copied, but they will not be part of the copy (because they are already at the destination). Proceeding with the copy works (only what I expect to be copied is actually copied, not the stuff the eyeball button showed).
I think the attachment screenshot (including BC4 and relevant Explorer windows) shows what I am talking about better than the above description ever could.
I think this is a bug. Why should I be shown files that (quite rightly) are hidden, but won't take part in the operation about to be performed anyway?
