The target is editable in a text box (using the default is as easy as
pushing ENTER or clicking OK, but you can add some subfolder, or you can
delete the path entirely and enter some relative path, which will then be
relative to the source directory, not the target directory).

There are also plenty of 2-pane file managers for Window$. I don't want to
advertise any particular one though (not until Krusader 2 binaries for
Window$ are available from the kdewin project ;-) ).
