Re: Option to always create directory when Synchronized Browsing
Thanks for your suggestion. Will see if more people ask for this.
If anyone is looking for an immediate solution, you can hack a solution with open source AutoHotKey.
Just create a text file with extension .ahk and run with portable AutoHotKey
Following code runs an infinite loop
Note the window title and ahk_class used within the program are not unique to WinSCP so every 10 minutes loop checks whether WinSCP window is still open
; Program: WinSCP
; Issue: Sychronized Browsing - Always "Yes"
; Workaround:
; 1. Wait for WinSCP commander interface window to exist
; 2. Wait for confirmation prompt for creating local folder
; 3. "Click" Yes
DetectHiddenText, off ;will not search hidden window text (faster)
DetectHiddenWindows, off ;will not detect hidden windows (faster)
Loop { ;continue indefinitely
; WinWait* is event-driven hook implementation consuming 0% cpu while process is stored in RAM
; WinTitle=Confirm AND ahk_class=TMessageForm AND Text=&Yes is not unique to WinSCP, so minimize interference by at least wait indefinitely until WinSCP Commander window exists
WinWait, ahk_class TScpCommanderForm
; Wait until confirm prompt window exists and has focus where WinTitle=Confirm and ahk_class=TMessageForm
; Every 10 minutes checks if WinSCP Commander GUI is still running
WinWaitActive, Confirm ahk_class TMessageForm, &Yes, 600
; Default answer is Y, therefore "Send {Enter}" would work, also "Send y"
; For accuracy, we will press specific mapped button of matched window in case focus was lost (such as may happen with mouseover-focus and zero focus-delay)
; TMessageButton3=&Yes TMessageButton2=&No TMessageButton1=&Help
ControlSend, TMessageButton3, {Enter}, ahk_class TMessageForm
}

Option to always create directory when Synchronized Browsing
Current behavior:
When synchronized browsing is turned on, and an attempt to access a remote folder not present on local. Option is given to create the directory.
[Confirm]
Do you want to try to create directory 'C:\foo\bar\'?
Cannot open corresponding directory in the opposite panel.
Directory 'C:\foo\bar' doesn't exist.
[Yes][No][Help]
Desired behavior:
Option to always choose "Yes"
The alternate behavior of always choosing "No" is already filed at https://winscp.net/tracker/631
