Description Oleg Khokhlov 2009-05-25 15:12:49 UTC

It's possible now recursively copy folders in Templates.
It leads to running endless copy task. And there is no way to cancel that task (except restart).

Templates dialog allow to do a recursive copy only if a user invokes New Folder a few times. Recursive copying of
standard template categories is forbidden. Users cannot face this problem in a usual workflow.

Thus it seems to be fixed. I've verified that the infinite recursive copy can not be achieved. If the user press "New Folder" several times, they get what they want - several new folders.
