Annoyances - Copy To Area support multiple files

System

It is really annoying that "File->Copy To Area" supports only a single selection and a single target. If I have to copy a group of files from one branch to several other branches (because, for instance, templating does not support DCTs that are symbolic links, but that's another annoyance...), doing this in the UI is really clumsy.

Does anyone know why certain UI operations are so inflexible? Is this fixed in 6.x?
