Did that ever work the way you describe? The dialog obviously states it
is working on either one particular file or on the selected files in the
current working directory.

What the source mask does is say you selected Canna* and then copy with
sourcemask "Canna-*" the "Canna-" part will get stripped off. Just found
that out right now, as I never touch the source mask :) .
