I see you 'fixed' #1069 as a "Command to clone site settings to a new site", but can one login without saving it first? (Or it saves automatically during cloning process?) May I see it in action in a test build, or, are you close to release a new beta?

I was thinking about adding Use as Template command (to drop down menu of Edit button) that would do the same what Edit button did in older versions of WinSCP (would switch to New Site entry in the new version with settings loaded).
Selecting some log files and press Enter to open then in the associated program. Usually the expected behavior is to open all selected files when pressing Enter as happens with Windows Explorer.
I'm not sure about the need of such "editing mode" to exist, because imo it looks a bit redundant as right when you select a bookmark you're supposed to be able to edit it.
PS: Another thing I noted recently, is that the Open function does not work for all selected files (only the first one), instead, Edit does work.
That's true. What's your use case for this?
First, I want the dialog to focus on editing only, when you are editing. Also it would not be clear that Login button does (where would you put Login without saving?).
I know, but it requires you to login to each server first. My idea was to clean it for all saved sites, without needing to login to each one.Commands > Clear cachesNot really needing this, but I just perceived the problem when was trying to find the Clean Up item (which don't have what I needed). By the way, something I was needing was an easy way to clear cached things that make the config file a growing monster (mostly the CDCache parts of the .ini, I think).
Yes, that could be an option... But why don't you simply enable Login button? Or transform it into two: "Save and Login" and "Login" (or "Login without saving").I was thinking about adding Use as Template command (to drop down menu of Edit button) that would do the same what Edit button did in older versions of WinSCP (would switch to New Site entry in the new version with settings loaded).

The new way looks much less practical, may it be to reuse settings temporarily, test new settings, editing advanced options or other. Imo, it is now a noobfied dialog, from the perspective of usability.
What advantage inspired you for changing its design?

Btw, the About and Check Updates are two things that must not cause any harm to be there.
Other than that, I think much more trouble happens when two or more instances of WSCP are running, each one may change settings based on a different edition of the config file when it was loaded in memory, and then each one that is closed will replace the file with the settings it has in memory. Very often it causes the lost of settings, bookmarks, etc. made in one instance but not in the others.
I also don't like how WSCP locks all the background screens when some kind of dialogs are opened (e.g. the 'Connecting to...', Login, Preferences etc.). In many programs they live together with the rest and don't need to block access to other parts of the program. This is specially good, for example, when we are working with folders/files and want to open a new connection, but want to continue working on the current tab while it connects in another tab. (Maybe this can be thought as the function "open link in a background tab" of browsers).
Another thing I noted these days is this: toggling between tabs does not memorize the position of scrollbar and always go back to start, I mean, it goes back to where the last selected line is (after changing tabs, the scroll position makes that line the last in the list). I personally think it is more intuitive to remember the scrollbar position I set, not the line I eventually selected (especially when no line was selected by the user, ".." line is always selected).
I'm aware of this regression. Will see how people miss this.- Older versions allowed us to "edit" the settings of a saved session and login without saving it again, very useful to test changes before saving the options.
- Missing options in Tools menu under Site Manager (aka New Session) when it is opened from toolbar.
That was always like this. It's by purpose as some of these options chance configuration globally, what would cause troubles then done while the application is running. What particular option would you find useful while application is running?
This request has been added to the tracker:- In the new Overwrite Confirmation dialog, I would like to be able to move from Yes to No (and vice-versa) using the right/left keys instead of only tab.
This one took me great time to figure out:
- When managing Shared Location Profiles, "Index out of bounds" error is triggered when trying to Remove folders, when, but only when, there is a shared location profile having "/root" as Remote Directory (OR having "/username" being it the username of the saved session, I'm not sure if it is related to the name of the saved session (usually "username@IP")).
- "Allow SCP fallback" option is not memorized and always disabled.
- Older versions allowed us to "edit" the settings of a saved session and login without saving it again, very useful to test changes before saving the options.
- Missing options in Tools menu under Site Manager (aka New Session) when it is opened from toolbar.
- It would be nice (if practicable) to have a way to move tab bar together with another toolbar, in order to spend less vertical space of screen if only a few tabs are opened (especially because widescreens have more horizontal than vertical space available). (It looks like what IE 9 did).
