Automatically check copies by checksum or content after copy

#1 Post by Dirk » 26.08.2015, 13:11

Is there a way to automatically let FC after copying / moving (for example drag & drop, by F5, F6, not synchronizing) check the copies by checksum or content?

Try to use external program for it (Tools -> Settings -> File/folder operations -> General -> Copy & Move -> Use external program).

For example, TeraCopy http://www.forum.freecommander.com/view ... f=2&t=5217 and viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6034

TeraCopy, even old version 2.3, can 'Test after copy' (see TeraCopy Preferences...)

By the way, TeraCopy 3.0 alpha 3 now can also wipe files! So it's a good idea to introduce new setting in FC XE - Use external program for Wiping files.

Many thanks for the links, Timon,

Yes, I had tried it some time ago (with CopyHandler, FastCopy, too) and now again but I never could get it to work:

When I press F5 this window appears: http://i.imgur.com/ERX8SOc.png, pressing "Mehr" shows there are no files to be copied: http://i.imgur.com/MhdEK1B.png

-for copying
Code:
...\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe copy *%ActivSelAsFile% "%InactivDir%"

-for moving
Code:
...\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe move *%ActivSelAsFile% "%InactivDir%"

(in both cases words copy and move are missed)

Argh! Arrrgh! I must have deleted those entries when adapting the paths of the code. Arrrrrrgh!!

Sorry.

Works great now.

Many thanks for your help, Timon
