After testing around for a while and after installing vistas SP2
yesterday (the “empty folders being left after moving many folders that already exist in the target drive-problem” is still there!!)
i found out that TC 2.0 has a significant breakdown in speed if there are more than about 30000 files to move.
I tested TC 1.22 with until 150000 files in more than 1500 folders.
(about 30GB)It works much, much! faster on my “allthetime-download-PC”
(Atom330 Intel-mini-ITX-Board 2GB ram, Vista home basic because it was laying around; modified for complete passive cooling ;1TB WD-Green HD unhearable!) the functionality of TC 1.22 is enough for my purpose

TC is a wonderful tool for XP but it is far the best Update for Vista
i know at the moment ;-) It gives You back the lost ability for moving
and merging folders in Vista!!
You should sell the Program to Microsoft for a lot of money!
ore give lessons to their programmers how to program
a simple copy and move function that really works!

once again: Thank you very much

Thank You very much!

As Vista is not even able to move folders correctly…………
(if you merge folders and want to overwrite the existing ones
the original folders will remain undeleted but empty…….)
Vista refuses to move files if there is not enough place for all on
the destination drive.No possibility to ignore this for filling up
the drive to the top.(When saving files to truecrypt containers)
Teracopy solved all these problems !!!!

a little suggestion for the future:
I dont know any program that moves(not copy)files to CDROM or DVD

how about an easy burning function (such as “move to ISO-File ” ??)

Thank You very much!!!!!

It would be really useful if the filelist you specfiy from the command line were capable of assigning a unique destination with each line item, and, as another feature, have some flag to copy the files in the list to the same realtive directory at the destination point(of course creating the directory tree structure if it does not exist).

I like the statistics this product displays while copying and it seems fast and reliable.

I am looking forward to an updated release.

Hello Jeff,

I am a french people and my english is not perfect.

I have tried your nice application TeraCopy V 2.0 beta 4a and I have a little comment about it:

The setting that makes TeraCopy the default copy handler is great, but I think it will be greater if a second conditional behavior was added to the first (Only when scrol lock is OFF). That would be:

- Use TeraCopy as default copy handler

– Only when scrol lock is OFF
– Only when performing between different drives

I explain why:

I often drag and drop small files with the left mouse button from a folder to another on the same drive. When using the natural move of Windows, the move is instantaneous, as soon as I leave my finger from the mouse button, the file is there!

But when TeraCopy is set as default copy handler, there is about 1.5 second latency before the file arrive. You and me know well that when a file is moved on the same drive, only the MFT (or FAT) is modified, so, why disturb TeraCopy to do that task? I think that the magic of TeraCopy is in transferring data, not in modifying the MFT.

But if TeraCopy is not set as default copy handler, it will not copy a file from a drive to another using the left button drag and drop method, as I will expect.

Adding the second setting I showed above, it would be then possible to satisfy both behavior with the left button: Let Windows move the files on the same drive, and let TeraCopy copy the files from one drive to another.

I hope you appreciate my comment ending with 5 stars for TeraCopy.

I salute you.

Rene.

Jeff,
could you please create a PortableApps (.paf) package of TeraCopy2.0 beta 4a? I use it a lot, in a way that nearly never causes me any trouble and I really think it’d be great to have on my PortableApps USB-stick

Cheers,
/M

PS. Yes, I have been using the beta 3 PortableApps .paf you made back in March last year;

That one does have a few issues I don’t like to live with though

I have tried the version 1.22 and 2.0 Beta 4a and there is only one problem that i have found so far and it is adding files to the queue, i think the old way was nice, when it just added all files to 1 queue so you only have 1 TC window open at a time not 5 or 6.

I think that was the most useful thing between the windows copy and TC.

Please can you take a look at that…..

Thanks….

I’ve been a long time user of Teracopy 1.22and I love it. Two problems on TC 2.0 beta 4a are preventing me from using it.
I’m using it on XP SP3 and copy multiple large media files between this PC and a Linux server network drive. The Linux server changes the copied file attribute to “Read Only” once the copy is complete. I had no problems with TC 1.22 but with the latest 4a beta I get a “Cannot Trim File…” error dialog at the end of the file copy process. Once I click OK, the file is copied fine. This error needs to be handled better (like TC 1.22) for TC to be usable.
The other problem is the opening of multiple windows for every copy instance, instead of adding the file/s to the copy queue. Obviously, for large number of files this is annoying.
Thanks
