    REQ: New Folder...: Allow folder hierarchy to be created in one go (eg. A/B)

    As per title, suppose I'm on "D:" and want to create "D:\A\B\C", I wnt to be able to just enter "A\B\C" in the New Folder... dialog box. Currently, you have to create A, then B, then C

    One other thing I've just noticed - if I right click a folder which isn't expanded and select New Folder, I was expecting the new folder to be created as a sub-folder of the selected folder, but instead it was created as a sibling.

      Hello,

      BC4 always requires a selection in the Folder Compare, so this behavior needs to be able to create a folder on the same level even if the base folder contains nothing but folders. For the New Folder command, if you are selected onto an collapsed (not expanded) folder, then it creates a sibling. If you double click and expand the folder first, then it creates a child.

      Thanks for the suggestion about creating multiple deep subfolders at once; it's something we can add to the wishlist. In the meantime, if you use the Base Folder path itself to try and navigate to D:\a\b\c\ (and fail) the error prompt option to Create can perform it in one step. Other action dialogs (like Copy To Folder) can also create multiple subfolders at once as their target.
