Move/Copy formatting suggestions

"suggestions", I write, but I would not be surprised over a how-to :)

- A checkbox for "inherit drive letter from file location" and for "do not move to different drive" (the latter to give a message afterwards of "different drive, nothing done for these files:")

- File naming pattern needs a multi-line text editing window. My pattern is already unmanageable without a text editor with tab indentation :-o 
Suggestion - assuming that newline and tab will not be used for filenames: default to showing three lines if there are more than two, and let fb2k display
[...]

[...]
where the middle is the one the cursor was on at last save.

- Options to undo (if user has ticked Show output files when done). In the show output dialogue, have a button for undo
... and a button for "I would have wanted to Move entire source folder!"

- Directory-by-directory operation (by source / by target). Because I want to Move entire on a large set of files, there will be a lot of work to do in case of a power outage midway.

- Option to skip conflicting "Move entire".

Maybe one could even consider to implement these by way of commands too, but I assume that it is so tightly connected to the formatting syntax.
