To be consistent with other options, “NoClose” should also be an .ini file option as well.

Maybe because with high speed, it causes unexpected crashes. Like I encounter before with the 2.0 Beta. I transferred Gig of files then it crash. With 2.01 Final, it work just fine. I am not sure it that is the reason, its just my own speculation.

It the 2.0 Betas as well as the nightlies, TeraCopy would copy and/or move files at around 90MB/sec, however with 2.01 Final, TeraCopy is only copying and or moving files at between 35MB/sec – just over 50MB/sec. What is going on, and why the big change in speed?

System: XP Pro, core2 duo 6400, Asrock Dual 775, 2 GB Ram,
all standard applications running (Antivirus etc.)
————————————————————————
copy to ext. HDD via USB 2.0 (~30Mb/s)
1 Folder incl. 3525 subfolders & 106645 files (71246 pictures) =7,22 GB size

Windows XP = 30min / no fragmented files (other PC operations work ok while copying)
Directory Opus = 40min / 40MB fragmented/ 16 files (other PC operations slow while copying)
TurboNavigator = 50min / no fragmented files (other PC operations slow while copying)
Teracopy = 55min / 140MB fragmented/ 62 files (other PC operations very sluggish while copying)
————————————————————————–
copy from one ext. HDD to another ext. HDD via e_Sata and USB 2.0
1 File of XML image backup = 26,7 GB (any fragmentation would take considerable time to defrag)

Windows XP = 21min / no fragments
Teracopy = 22min / 23 fragments (copy speed 20MB/s)
Directory Opus = 28min / 2 fragments
—————————————————————————–
Yes, windows XP copier breaks up the process if detecting any unsuitable file (example: name too long)
ans it will take considerable time & diligence to find that place of fault. Therfore not to be recommended
with unknown file material like downloaded web pages etc.

All the other copying routines DOPUS, Teracopy, TurboNavigator permit pausing, continuation and skipping of faulty files. With large files like

Video clips, backup files, etc. consideration for fragmentation may be important. To defragment a 26 GB file with only 2 or 3 fragments will still

take more time than the actual copying itself. There the windows XP copying routine would be best.

Wow, the new version is definitely great! One thing I was wondering but do you ever thought about changing the type of algorithm Teracopy uses to check the files? Or perhaps you think CRC is fine for what it does?

hey jeff small bugs to be reported, the uac prompt is less annoying when copying files on usb drive etc so its nice, but i copied a zip file to the root of drive c: and then i drag and drop it on the desktop, i get error message 38 and 39 at times. then when i click on okay, the copying starts but the source is not deleted. my best bet is that in drive c root all operations should run as admin. this bug needs fixing. also a little bug i lauched a number of teracopy i can’t start copying or moving flies until i first pause the first operation, and then teracopy allows me to copy the files. also, when i try to move or copy files . i get a new teracopy copy window of the previous first problem and it says teracopy can’t find the file specified. everytime i try to copy something i get the same window. its annoying, i think its a bug. please fix it before the final release please

Jeff :
Ken : Can you explain how Favorite Target Folders work ? Note that I only start Teracopy Pro from the Explorer Context Menu.
Added separate app for this, hope it’s better than sub-menus. Favorite folders can be added by clicking on target folder name in TC and selecting “Add …”.

My Teracopy app says PRO in the title bar, and this Favorites feature is still not enabled, so I think that you never actually enabled it. The new separate app says "Available in Tera Copy Pro" and does not do anything when you click in the left part of the app...

jeff before u release ths iteracopy as a full version please remove this annoying run as admin everytime u start copying files to usb drive etc.

I though Windows not allows writing to a root of usb drives. But they instead disabled autorun on removable drives (except optical) in Windows 7. Good idea, but it should be done seven years ago in XP SP1.

jeff before u release ths iteracopy as a full version please remove this annoying run as admin everytime u start copying files to usb drive etc. everytime it ask for uac prompt even when i send simple avi or doc files like that. make it use uac only when it is really needed, copying files to program files, windows. well drive c: stuff, the rest no need of this .please also i got error when i try to copy files at times, get error that it can’t read the file etc and the copying freezes. have to cancel and start again. its annonying, but previous versions worked fine.
