Hi, i think i got a problem
Trying to copy anything from 1 file to 100 folders i got this message :
Target folder is not available
Im trying to copy from a laptop to a desktop and viceversa, same results, both machines using vista 64 ultimate.
And i can see the contents form both computers, just fails using this version of teracopy.
Ideas?
TIA
Also tried this on a Vista X64 desktop - the main teracopy window appears but no copying takes place. Was trying to copy 1 .iso file from one folder to another.
Hi, thanks a lot and good job for this version for vista 64, but on xp64 the copy doesn’t start. Is there a version integrated to windows xp64?
Fixed, please download this version again and reinstall. Should work in both 64 and 32 bit applications.
InoKull: I’ll install XP 64 today and see what I can do.
You don’t have to install XP64 because you new new version work very well with it! Thank you very much
Installed and tested on Windows XP x64. No problems so far. Thanks so much for this excellent application!
Oh, and a quick question: Do you know if it’s possible to replace the default “F5″ for copy and “F6″ for move with TeraCopy in Total Commander? I have the icons set up, but it would be nice with keyboard shortcuts.
Yes, this is possible:
1. Total Commander Configuration > Misc > Redefine hotkeys.
2. Select F5 as hotkey.
3. Command: Click on the […] button.
4. Select usercmd.ini in the left list.
5. Press the [New] button. Enter any name.
6. Set path to TeraCopy.exe and Copy *”%L” “%T” as parameters.
You can also remap Del key to TeraCopy.exe Delete *”%L”.
This app is indispensable! Its 100x better than windows built in file copy and move, however… you did one think in the development of 2.0 that I did not like. You took out the slider to adjust the buffer size. What was the reason for this? Perhaps there could be an option to allow it to be turned back on? I found this very useful as I was able to tweak the buffer size by watching the file transfer speeds to find the optimal buffer size myself. Teracopy didn’t always guess the best setting….it was right 8/10 tho
Oh yeah, this is just like a friggin’ Christmas in April! Thanks a lot for responding to our desperate requests. Now the only thing I truly need is the x64 version of Unlocker, so we just have to move out there and bug the hell out of its creator for a change
P.S. I’m fairly sure you won’t need to waste your time on separately compiled builds for x64 versions of Vista and XP. There are no immediately seen problems with XP x64. Basic operations and shell integration work just fine. Good work, Jeff.
Great, thanks for testing on XP x64. Just updated this version, now it should work with active DEP protection.
And, by the way:

Man, am I glad I left this page open. That PCWorld article is one of the most hilarious things I’ve seen in quite a while. Educating as well - I never knew they had a WinAPI function for BSOD
My favorite parts are the variable declarations and these two snippets:
AddRandomDriver();
MsgBox (”Driver Incompatibility Error”);
GetKeyPress ();
BSOD ();
…
DisplayFancyGraphics();
FlickerLED (hard_drive);
RunWindowsXP ();
After this, I’m not that sure. Could it be the real thing?
On Vista x64 I get no shell integration menu option - otherwise it works fine (e.g. as default handler).
On Windows XP Pro x64 and I’m not getting any shell integration or default handler Jeff. Just today(Apr 4 2008 12:15pm) I d/l’d, installed, and reg’d my copy of teracopy2b364.exe.
Something I’m doing wrong?
Default, it’s installing to the 64bit “path’ of \Program Files\TeraCopy
Should I be changing that to \Program Files (x86)\TeraCopy
I have the latest version of TC installed on two different Vista x64 machines with fresh installs, and it works fine as the default copy handler one on machine, but not on the other.
Is there anything else I need to check?
Is there any difference between these two machines, Intel/AMD processors maybe?
There’s a lot of differences, but both are fairly fresh Vista x64 installs.
Both machines are Intel
The working machine is a Quad-Core Core 2 Extreme QX9650, custom rig I recently built.
The other is a HP DL360 1U server with Dual 3.4 Ghz Xeon processors with HyperThreading.
The non-working machine will work if I drag files to an open window of TC and decide what to do with them from there, but doesn’t work automatically on the standard cut/copy & paste type operation.
Is there any registry settings I can check to make sure they are set right?
Thanks for the help…
Hello,
I was waiting for integration of teracopy with vista x64 for a long time!
Nice job
Here is a bug i notice:
When, from 7zip, i drag and drop to extract a file, teracopy is launched and nothing is done….
Drag and drop from 7zip does a simple copy, so the handle works fine! but nothing is done.
Also a nice enhancement in my opinion: it would be nice if teracopy keeps only one instance of itself. (reuse instance).
That’s all! Thanks for realising this kind of products…
Cheers
I just installed it under Vista 64bit, and it didn’t become the default copy handler.
I then ran it, went into “more”, then menu-options, and unchecked Use TeraCopy as default copy handler and clicked ok. I then went back in to check that same box. Before clicking ok, I also checked Add to Explorer context menu, then clicked ok. An error box popped up.
I’ve determined that it’s the checking of the Add to Explorer context menu (followed by clicking ok) that causes the error. It’s repeatable.
Can’t get TeraCopy to run on Windows Server 2008 x64. Yeah I know there wasn’t any mention of it being supported but I can’t ignore a good utility for copying files to/from a file server. Out of curiosity has anyone tried TeraCopy with Vista x64 SP1?
That’s what my post (just prior to yours) is about. Vista 64bit SP1.
I get it working on vista x64 sp1 without problems.
I guess this means there is no way the throttle bar for buffer size will make it into a future release?
@Greg
What made you draw that conclusion about the buffer size slider/option? I don’t see anything above that should rule out a future (re)inclusion of it..?

Excellent program. TeraCopy has replaced most directory compare requirements for me as well.
A feature request from a free home user:
I have TeraCopy as the default copy/move handler but when I move files on the same drive or same network share, I would prefer the regular move command. I know I can get to it with the right-click menu but often I forget.
Thanks for an excellent program!
Great program.
Running Vista x64 I find the same bug that Jon pointed out.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot for such a work on TeraCopy.
I hope my writings would help for improvements:
+Shell integration is OK on XP64 (2b364) :>:>
+Making it default is wonderful
+havent tried but command support is wonderful too.
1)
but in v2 there is an absance of function from v1
http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1920/156ac9.png
this function of v1 doesnt exist in v2, and sad for me ’cause that is the reason i love teracopy at first. :>.
2)
if you plan to put this function again (i think u use the ability of windows to make this function work) , can you make it work in vista style on XP:
Example:
(i copy deneme.txt from different folders to C:\1 by using search of explorer)
XP (vista prior) style (with teracopy v1):
C:\1\deneme.txt
C:\1\Copy of deneme.txt
C:\1\Copy (2) deneme.txt
Vista style (with teracopy v1):
C:\1\deneme.txt
C:\1\deneme (1).txt
C:\1\deneme (2).txt
Vista has this option built-in in its copy function
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9505/1324ht5.png
teracopy v1 had it too, but there isn’t in v2.
3)
Can you put a speed bar on new version to slow down the copy (like in old “total copy”), it is very useful when copying lots of files from dvd or from another hd, during copy when using IE or MSN or whatever, max speed makes other programs reacts late, so i slow down the copy :>, other times maxspeed.
Hi,
I tried it on XP64 but the copy doesn’t start. The only way I can copy and move, is to open teracopy and then I move then files or directories per drag and drop to teracopy.
When i do it so it works perfectly
Write program to find the total of file in a folder.
I’m using Teracopy on Vista Business x64 SP1 with UAC activated.
Each time it is starded following a copy/move command, Teracopy asks for confirmation.
With Vista 32bit and UAC activated too, Teracopy works without asking confirmation.
Any workaround?
Thanks
P.S.
Compliments for your good job
Sorry, I forgot something.
Shell integration with Vista x64 SP1 doesn’t work.
No items are added in Explorer context menu
hey, any chance we’d see an UAC prompt when trying to copy to “program files” or other protected location instead of giving up?
Hi there ! !
Thanks for the good work ! !
Tested it on Vista Ultimate X86 and all was fine ! That was crazy cool !
But I’m now under Vista Ultimate X64 SP1 and like others said, Teracopy can’t be use as default copy handler !
It was a shock !
Keep making The good work
any good updates coming? could do with many more options
@ Micke:
I noticed the developer replied but ignored my comment, this gave me the distinct impression that my feature was axxed.
I hope this isn’t the case!
@ Lancelot
Speed throttling is a great idea! I mount drives on my win box using sftpdrive (so they are actually ssh connections to shells in cyberspace) and having a speed/throttle command to control the speeds of those remote transfers would be hella nice!

This is an excellent utility, except for a major problem when using it in Vista. I run a limited user account rather than one with full Admin rights. I won’t compromise on that, as this is a more secure configuration. Often I’ll copy a file to or from a location that triggers the UAC, and on a limited account, the standard copy routine would ask for the Admin account’s password before it can proceed. TeraCopy doesn’t do this. In fact, it does nothing at all. The file isn’t copied, and no failure is reported. To get around this, I must resort to the built-in Windows copy. Please consider fixing this. Whatever time I’m saving in faster bulk copy operations is being offset by having to retry restricted copy operations using the built-in copy routine.
This software is very usefull, and really increase the transfert of files, especially from an hard drive to another hard drive.
BUT THERE IS NO FRENCH VERSION!!!

Windows xp sp3 (the “Living Dangerously” release)
TeraCopy 2.0 beta 3
First time install.
Comments:
A VERY nice tool serving a need that almost anyone using windows has.
UI suggestions.
1. When files already exist on target the option to overwrite are somewhat unclear. Particularly, I did not know if selecting overwrite meant a single file (the conflict in question) or all. Might be best to clarify and provide option (just this file; all files) and perhaps some means of telling user what criteria to use to determine overwrite choice. Since you’re doing (very fast!) crc generation, perhaps an option for “file changed”, but this may be dangerous if timestamp is less than target. Same with skipping file/s if exist on target.
2. I chose to not overwrite. End dialog title changed to “25294 file(s) was not copied”. I wondered why they was (sic) not copied - then noted a button that said “25294 skipped”. Pressed button (dangerous): “what does this do?”. After delay UI was redrawn with red X for each skipped file and a cleanup button.
I should of course RTFM, but the UI could also call out what these things do. This would add to the convenience.
3. When first trying to use the program I thought it was done from the program’s UI (not explorer). In this I emulated dumb user. Seems to me UI should only appear when copy/move is needed, otherwise what use is it? Maybe when user tries to load UI they get dialog instructing them to use exploder?
Thanks again! Great tool and seems to be bug-free!
It seems TeraCopy slows down when copying lots of small sized files (around 100kb each). Is it because of the crc checking? Is there someway to make it faster?
