You should be able to set a throttling threshold during the copy (like ultracopier) to prevent saturating WAN links.

An update -- it turns out that 2.2 Beta 3 fails the same way, as does 2.12. Windows explorer and XXCOPY both copy the partition without problems, and the files for which TeraCopy reports read errors are in fact readable.

I just tried the 2.3 beta and have experienced two problems -- one minor but one fatal to the use of the program. The setup for my test was to create four folders on an empty partition, and then to try copying four different partitions into the four folders in the empty partition. Each such copy (one partition to one empty folder) was done by a drag-and-drop. This results in four separate teracopy operations and four separate teracopy windows.

I ran this test twice, once dragging the drive icon representing a partition into the empty folder, and once opening the drive, selecting all of its contents (Ctrl+A), and dragging the collection into the empty folder. The first time I got an enormous number of error messages about invalid paths; that is why I went to the second mode (Ctrl+A of contents).

But the problem is that teracopy stops 2/3 of the way through the first copy, reporting read errors, and then sits in a cpu-bound loop forever. It does not complete the copy. On the second try, I get lots of "Read error: Invalid access to memory location" reports in the log, as well as lots of "Read error:" with no further information after the colon. This happens on one of the partition copy attempts. So I cancelled it and went on.

The minor problem is that after all four copies were created, teracopy spends some time reading the directories, and then all four copies go into "copy waiting" mode -- none actually start copying. Similarly, after a copy finishes, or a copy is cancelled, none of the other pending copies starts up.

Finally, a request for separate color settings for the two progress bars. The progress bar for the single file is much to flashing -- files are completing instantaneously and so the progress bar blinking is distracting. For this reason I set the colors to white (for all states of the progress bar) -- it stops the blinking. But I wouldn't mind having progress shown on the job-as-a-whole progress bar.

Thanks for a handy program (2.2 Beta 3 is the release I use, because all subsequent ones have failed for me during large copies).

If I can help diagnose the problem, I am happy to run some tests.

Just a small suggestion:
I use the 'shutdown when transfer is complete' in those cases, or the Skip All function.
However, I can see that an export remaining tasks list can be very useful in some circumstances.

First time I learned about TeraCopy was in the HiRen BootCD. And now, I can't imagine living without it. I do hope that this will not become blowware.

Jeff, as you announced a few months ago, are you going to give away license keys for translators?

Since I installed TeraCopy, I believe that there is no better program of this type. I look forward to future versions and improvements. I can also help in translating new versions into Polish.
I greet and thank you for this great application.

Hello. I'm a registered user of TeraCopy. I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.

After upgrading to version 2.3 beta I had the following issues:

1) After installation I restarted my computer as the program suggested. When I started Teracopy I noticed that it wasn't self registered and I had a message saying " License key copied to "Application Data\TeraCopy" folder, please restart TeraCopy to register and after pressing OK I had the About box opened to re-enter my key again to register the program.

2) TeraCopy has stopped working as the default copy handler although I have enable it in the preferences menu ( The Only when Scroll Lock is OFF option is unchecked ). Every time I try to copy something always starts the default windows copy.

3) The new drag’n'drop confirmation dialog isn't showing.

4) The ConfirmDrag parameter in registry wasn't present. I added ConfirmDrag as String Value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Code Sector\TeraCopy to registry and set it to 1 but the new drag’n'drop confirmation dialog still isn't showing.

5) When I drag a file with the right mouse button to a copy location the TeraCopy Here and TeraMove Here options aren't showing in explorer's context menu.

I changed back to version 2.27 and all worked as they supposed to.

P.S How difficult is to add an Export Copy/Move List button of the remaining files in TeraCopy's main window ? This is usefull if, let's say, you have to leave home and must shut down the PC ( The Copy/Move operation for all files must be started all over again and just skip the copied/moved ones). In this way we save time and disk usage.

Thank you! It's working!

You need to set parameter ConfirmDrag to 1 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Code Sector\TeraCopy with Registry Editor.

Unfortunately, no.

Chen391005 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:12:14 -0000

I have checked ''don't show this again".
But I want that option menu re-present again now.

Could you tell me how to make it happen ?

Drag the files/folders via the right mouse-button onto the target drive/folder.
This will bring up a context-menu where you can choose to use TeraCopy/TeraMove or the default routine of Windows' Explorer.

Not true.

Download a new ZIP file, containing the updated Miranda IM binaries.
Extract it and while selecting all folders and files, move them to the existing Miranda IM program-directory and then look into the extracted folder again.

Result: Folder "Icons" and "Plugins" stays there, although being empty, since all files where moved to the program-directory.

Not sure about that last one SoundWave4000, although from my knowledge, TeraCopy does delete empty folders after itself.

Hi

Thanks for the tip from Andy Malcolm. I had the same problem with teracopy 2.27. I had high cpu usage and long copy times when using Avira Premium on my WD external harddrive, particularly on pdf files. I attributed that to poor driver support initially. After reading the tip, I proceeded to exclude both the exe and the process from Avira scanner. No such delays now.

Not sure if I like the new file conflict window.
When I have files nested under long directory names, the buttons on the right take up too much real estate and truncate the filenames on the left.
Although I do realise I can drag the cursor over the name to see the end of it, it would be nice to see it all on screen at once.

Not true.

Those files, especially Thumbs.db, are usually locked by Windows and can't be deleted. I think you can wait a short time and delete the folder manually.

Re: TeraCopy 2.3 beta

SoundWave4000 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:26:42 -0000

It would be great if TeraCopy deleted empty folders after itself!

...and treat folders containing 0kb files and/or these files as empty (user definable):

*.tmp
desktop.ini
Thumbs.db
.DS_Store

LOVE the program! Thanks!

About box still shows 2007-2011?!
Why not implement like this: "2007 - " + DateTime.Now.Year (C# style)

How to make [Choose between TeraCopy and Explorer on every drag’n'drop operation]'s option re-present again ?
