Great you can work on these issues, Koos :)

Confirmed (1.3.4)

But ../foo is _not_ in the pwd...?
This is btw. not only a display problem, gcmd actually tries to cd when i click 
the zombie dir
(which leads to some confusion, like moving the focus to the other pane). I 
think this could be 
related to the following below:

> 2. Creating nested directories like 'F7: dir1/dir2' doesn't work yet. 

Confirmed. This would be a useful feature. (Krusader can do this)
The error message 'file not found' is weird.

F7 ../foo and F7 foo/bar have in common that they consist of multiple-level 
path,
so maybe the parsing of URI to the function is buggy ?
Assumed the function is actually checking for sane input. Or maybe it doesn't.
I'm no coder, i'm only beta tester and semi-professional loudmouth. But i think,
anyway, there *should* be a feature like mkdir -p in gnomevfs....maybe another 
function ?

A valid solution. I hope piotr can pick it up.
And see my next posting :)


thx anyway!
