    1. Cris on

      Yes! Thanks for the update. Is installing and will report bugs and suggestions.

    3. SlayerM . on

      Start of TeraCopy is much longer than before (so work with files starts slower), it is the first thing i have mentioned. Will be testing further 🙂

      Also TeraCopy doesn’t handle files operation when a drag and drop files from archive (WinRAR for example), they are handled by Windows 🙁

      • Oleg on

        The reason for this could be a slow connect to WMI services. Try running wbemtest.exe from command line and click Connect button. It should be instant, try to restart your PC if not. I’ll think about how to cache this information, it’s required for mapping logical to physical drives.

    4. Timo Suominen on

      Still TeraCopy can not copy files to network mapped locations. Teracopy: “Unknown device (L:)” and then “Target: The system cannot find the the path specified”. My Network drive is a NAS drive, copying works fully e.g. with Windows Explorer and Total Commander. But not at all with Teracopy. Secondly, TeraCopy launch takes “ages” on my Windows 10. Way longer than e.g. Microsoft Office apps…

    5. Kenneth Knudsen on

      Just to let you know that Norton classifies the beta download as a virus and auto deletes it, maybe you should look into that.

    6. Jamie on

      This Beta is promising–it’s actually working without crashes for me, unlike the previous Alpha’s. I really like the idea of saving checksums to a file after a copy/move however it doesn’t appear to be working. When setting-up a copy or move, I go to the Options tab and enable “Save checksum file on finish” (with MD5 or CRC32 selected), however no file is generated. How should this function?

      Also, I notice that there is an option “Save checksums” in the right-click context menu of the panel, and it generates an MD5 file in the source location–sometimes it is actually populated with the MD5 hash, other times it does not have the hash value.

      Currently testing on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

      How to disable floating window notification in Windows 8.1 Pro on the Right top corner ?

    8. Venkatesh on

      There is no option to change the colour of the progress bar by default which is in “Yellow”.

      • saltorio on

        Yeah, t would be nice to be able to either customize the progress-bar colour, or at least inherit it from Windows to better fit in with the OS UI.

    9. saltorio on

      “Replace all older files” is now in the “More” submenu? 🙁

      That is the most common copy option I use, and one of the main reasons I love Teracopy. Any chance it can be moved into the main set of option buttons (or even better, allow users to select which options they want as main buttons)?

      • NotesTracker on

        I would like “Skip All” to be the default, as I’ve requested before. So
        the most accommodating solution would be to be able to select any one of
        these options as your personal default and have it remembered for each
        launch of TeraCopy (rather than reverting to “Show dialog on filename
        collision” each launch). This is important, because if you are carrying
        out lots of copying it is very annoying to have to always open the
        bottom panel, click on the Options tab, and then open the dropdown list
        to select your desired option. It may be tolerable if you only do the
        occasional copy, but quite unacceptable (far too many mouse clicks) if
        you perform many copy operations.

    10. Thomas Szücs on

      I have installed the latest beta, but the application does not start. The previous aplha worked. I’m running Win10 64bit.

    12. Sparktank on

      I used to be on Windows 7 x64, but as soon as Windows Updates got Windows 10 upgrade ready, Teracopy has needed 10 seconds to wait before processing. That’s including SSD to SSD or even HDD via USB 3.0. Previously, before the Win10 upgrade, Teracopy would start instantly.
      Unchecking “Check For Free Space” doesn’t make a difference.
      Unplugging my external drives to copy from SSD to SDD in my desktop will take about 5-7 seconds to start the process. When the external drives are plugged in, every drive takes a turn spinning up then stopping.
      I’m a single user on a home desktop. No guest or extra accounts, not on a server. Always have been Admin.
      Win10 UAC is different, I’m learning. On Win7 with UAC disabled, it was no issue.
      I’ve set Teracopy to run as admin at all times from right-clicking on it and setting it to run as admin.
      I have also completely uninstalled Teracopy, rebooted, then installed the newest beta.

      • Oleg on

        This version queries WMI during start to map disk volumes to physical drives. Looks like this causes significant delays on many systems. Next version will store and re-use this data.

        • Sparktank on

          The issue has actually gone away after removing Comodo Firewall.
          I previously had Comodo Firewall installed and Windows 10 disabled it partially, after the upgrade. I could not re-install Comodo and had to a full uninstall with Revo Uninstaller.
          Now TeraCopy 3.0 beta works instantly.
          It seems there’s a lot to fix once upgrading to Windows 10. The entire system is crippled.

    13. Novan Purnama on

      Teracopy beta can’t handle my copy if i copy file it always windows default copy dialog not teracopy

    14. Chanse Arrington on

      I’m using Windows Server 2016 Preview 5 on my home server and getting a message of “Free version of TeraCopy is not permitted on server systems”

      I have a paid copy of TeraCopy 2, will that fix this issue with the 3.0Beta?

    15. ???? ?????? on

      Dr. Web Security Space 11 detects Trojan.Muldrop6.42990 during the installation process in the following folder – C:program filesteracopyis-XXXXX.tmp, where is XXXXX – random symbols.
      If I stop protection while installing and restart it after the installation has been completed, Dr. Web detects the same trojan in C:program filesteracopyteracopy.exe

    16. SlayerM . on

      Moving files (“cut” not “copy”) is doing always by Windows, not by TC 🙁

    17. BRX on

      I like what I see so far. I’m replacing my 2.3 with the Beta as my defaul copy handler now.

      Regarding the last post by SlayerM (cutting/moving by Windows on the same partition) I guess that’s intended. If not, please keep that anyway since it’s desired and much faster to let Windows move just changing the index entries).

      On the contrary I’d like to suggest an option for TC that a copy on the same partition can be made by creating hardlinks since it’s similar fast like the aforementioned moving by Windows.

      (This could be a unique feature for TC. AFAIK no filemanager or copy utility offers that so far).

    19. John Whiting on

      I ran into a situation a few minutes ago with TeraCopy Pro 2.3. I was consolidating a large number of files in various directories into a single directory, and there was a number of duplicate files in the move. My options are Overwrite, All, or Older Only. I would like an additional possibility: Checksum matches. If two files are identical, I still want to move them, regardless of which copy is older. By the same token, I don’t necessarily want to destroy an older, non-identical file. And I don’t want to individually approve some 500+ files after checking them by eye.

      Does this sound like a useful feature?

    20. BRX on

      Minor quibble concerning the UI design. I liked it better when 2.x Teracopy showed for the transferring file xxx of xxx files and x.x GB out of x.x GB. Now it’s just counting down the files and data amount without showing the total.

      I hope you change that back.

    21. Roberta on

      I am holder of a license Pro from June 2015.

      So far Teracopy had always gone very well. both XP and Win7 Ultimate. I
      had to reinstall the system (Win7 Ult) and therefore Teracopy.

      The version 2.3, and TeraCopy too , however, no longer carries out copying and closes in
      mid-operation. I installed, always as an administrator, the Beta version
      and the opening gives me error (see attached report).

      Only difference from before is that I have installed antivirus software –
      that were in conflict since the latest updates – but only Microsoft
      Security Essentials. I also installed Total Commander 8.5.2.1, but I
      never use it to copy files, except when I want to synchronize folders.

      Thanks for the help, why should it need to urgently restore the data files stored on another disk.

      (Translated by Google)

    22. BRX on

      Two more for the file list.

      Clicking in the scroll bar on the right above or under the “cursor” should work like pageup and pagedown, not jumping to the destination you click in the bar.

      It’s good that the file list generally is static (for selection or other tasks)

      But it would also be nice to have back the automatic scroll to the file which currently is transferring. I’d imagine a button similar like the verify one for scrolling on/off would be useful.

    24. Michael Stephenson on

      The icons inside the program look blotchy on high DPI screens, I imagine they look smoother on lower resolution screens.

        • Michael Stephenson on

          Windows scaling is set to 150%. My monitor is a 3840 x 2160, 27″ screen which means it has a DPI of 163.18.
          It sounds like Windows decides to use the 100% icon and scale it up instead of the 200% and scale it down -.-

    25. Nixon1vineX on

      Thank you very much)! App TeraCopy SUPER!

      If you can PLEASE add function: Menu/Preferences ? “Hash test files with the same name” after click button “skip”. ???

    26. Mike on

      “Your service was Installed sucesfuly”

      should be:

      “Your service was installed successfully”

      • Oleg on

        In a few weeks. I’ve figured out a way to enumerate physical drives without WMI, so the main problem with this beta is solved.

        • BRX on

          It would be nice to have a new beta soon if you’ve figured out the startup problem. I have often delays of 8 to 10 seconds for simple and small copy jobs.

    28. FluffyBoyo on

      In my opinion, this new beta is just too darn slow to act when you do even the simplest copy or action. It takes up to 5 seconds to show the GUI and do the transfer…plus then verify. And the GUI look needs another do over I think to better smooth out things inc choice of colors. Looks awful at high DPI.

    32. stimmenhotel on

      If I am buying a teracopy licence, will this be lifetime/updates included?

      • stimmenhotel on

        Nevermind, fount the option inside the 50% Discount blog post. 🙂

    33. Meticulous Enthusiast on

      For a long time I’ve been watching development of this
      application and further improvements and discussion in this thread and I can
      tell you guys, the developer (Oleg) is playing everyone for fools, at least it
      seem that way don’t expect any better speed of moving or copies with TeraCopy
      vs native windows function I don’t see it happening.

      You must see that the support in here next to non and he is just dragging his feet and everyone else
      with it, why not just discontinue this program
      and quit giving people hope for something that won’t happen, I’m sure anyone
      who paid for this would like to eventually use it and I mean sometimes in this
      century.

      Nonsense I tell you.

      • stimmenhotel on

        I am using this tool since a very long time…
        It has some rough edges, windows integration is sometimes not working properly.
        About the speed … I can’t say for sure anymore, since I haven’t tested it for quite a while.
        But when I started using it, the speed was better than windows 7 copy.
        Especially for many many small files. (This was what I installed it for)

        But today I am not looking only on the speeds …
        I like it because of the management of your copy jobs.
        Checking the files after copy, pausing, skipping, etc pp.
        I am not yet running windows 10, so I don’t know how well the native function there is working.

        I can’t tell anything about the support, since I never contacted him.
        Is this even a full time dev group?

        If you know any alternatives to this one, giving the potability to manage your copy queue, I have a open ear for you.

        • stimmenhotel on

          Wait, I have started using this on XP. There was the copying of many smaal files very slow.
          Don’t know windows7/8/10…

    34. saltorio on

      I’ve been using Teracopy alpha versions for a while. I upgraded to Beta 1 about a week ago, but all of a sudden today it told me “Trial copy expired” and refuses to load. Any time I try to load it (or copy a file with it), I simply get a “Trial copy expired” message, and that’s it.

      I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail.

    36. soilent on

      Windows 10 Pro 64bit, intel
      Copying to a mapped network drive (Z:) with {skip all} enabled.
      All timestamps on source files are reset to 1970-jan-1 01:00 am.

    43. Asbjørn on

      Pause button is broken, when clicking on it, the button disappears and TeraCopy does not pause.

      Also, the choice of “Copy” or “Move” should be presented while the file list is built, and not after the file list is ready. If you’re copying a large amount of files (several hundred thousand) then it can take several minutes to build the file list.

      If multiple panels are open and expanded, and you try to resize the window vertically by dragging the top of the window, the window changes vertical size.

      If you have multiple panels open, expand one panel, resize vertically to show more, the panel expands. That’s as expected. However when you then expand another panel, the window grows considerably, possibly spilling out of the desktop area. Instead I think the other expanded panel should shrink a bit (though of course an expanded panel should have a minimum size).

      • Asbjørn on

        Also, if you specify a non-existing directory as the Target, it will just fail on all the files, rather than asking if you want the directory to be created.
