Currently if you copy or move a message or go to other folder, the appearing "Select folder" dialogue it's the same for all actions. There's no hint on window title or dialogue itself of what's going to happen when the folder is selected. There's no problem usually, but if you left the dialogue unattended for some time (as often happens on work environments) some degree of FUD may assault user, having to cancel the dialogue and recheck context to be sure. A simple textual hint on dialogue may help to prevent this.
Created attachment 1687 [details] Possible fix A candidate fix for this: just adds a parameter to the function for specifying the dialogue title. A few callbacks are reused and still share default title, but since the trigger buttons are in the same window (and likely to be configured in a row) and the duplication of code it would require, makes separation effort not worth enough IMO. Review of the English grammar in titles is welcome, though it can also be done after pushing, of course :-)
Thumbs up on this one. :)
