An epilogue


I ended up having doubled TerCopy here and TeraMove here entries n my shell menu, both in FreeCommander and Windows Explorer. To get rid of them I had to use this REG hack:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TeraCopy]
@="{A8005AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TeraCopy]
@="{A8005AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TeraCopy]
@="{A8005AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TeraCopy]
@="{A8005AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"



[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\DragDropHandlers\TeraCopy64]
@="{A7645AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\DragDropHandlers\TeraCopy64]
@="{A7645AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TeraCopy]
@="{A8005AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\DragDropHandlers\TeraCopy64]
@="{A7645AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Drive\shellex\DragDropHandlers\TeraCopy64]
@="{A7645AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shellex\DragDropHandlers\TeraCopy64]
@="{A7645AF0-D6E8-48AF-8DFA-023B1CF660A7}"

I used the entries from this thread in FC to have teracopy as the file handler whenever I copy or move. But is there a parameter for the command line that will make teracopy ask me what I want to do if there's already a copy in the destination folder? Currently, it appends "- Copy" and I'd like to have a choice.

I didn't see anything on their website or in the GUI to make that happen.

Thanks,

For me, using TeraCopy in the FC settings always gives a dialog, what to do on a collision.
This really has all what a user may want.
My FC settings are as follows, no need for any registry hacks.

The Copy entry only looks like this
C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe Copy *"%ActivSelAsFileUtf8%" "%InactivDir%"

Ok.. something strange has happened. I have Teracopy set to prompt on filename collision. It has stopped doing so and means it's not FC. I can use Teracopy in file explorer or in its GUI and it won't bring up the prompt anymore. It used to and what your image shows it what I used to see.

It just happened to stop working near the same time I changed FC to copy and move like you showed in this thread and revealed the problem. I will have to email Teracopy to see why.

Thank you...

Here it till works also in Windows Explorer and asks for collisions.
In my actual TeraCopy version 3.17 I don't see any entry under preferences to switch off the prompt on collisions.
How did you disable this ?

I don't think I've ever been able to get an image to show up. But the series of button swith the names below, click on options.
File list Target Options Status Log

Then Transfer options has a drop down menu to choose how to handle file collisions.
