TeraCopy not working with FC

[coyote]

TeraCopy is no longer working with my "FreeCommander XE 2025 Build 928 64-bit donor". It still does work with my Win11 64-bit 24H2 File Manager.

I tried toggling off/on Register as Default Copy Handler in TeraCopy. I tried in FC settings "File/Folder Operations" setting Copy and Move to C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe or C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopyService.exe

Advice please?

Which operation? If Drag&Drop, then it is possible. I made in the last version some changes to Drag&Drop and forgot to exclude the changes for external operations.

Ooops, sorry, yes, it is Drag&Drop that TeraCopy isn't working with.

Please check 929.

Please check 929.

Many thanks, Marek. It was working with 929...until today, and how TeraCopy drag-and-drop is again not working with FC. (TeraCopy drag-and-drop is still working with Win11 File Explorer though.)

I have TeraCopy 4.0 RC installed.
In FC it's configured and Drag and Drop works fine.

Not only does TeraCopy continue to not work for me with drag-and-drop on "FreeCommander XE 2025 Build 933 64-bit donor" (while TeraCopy still does work with my Win11 64-bit 24H2 File Manager)...

Now when I forget and do a drag-and-drop with FC, the Windows dialog box doesn't even appear (making it impossible to know when the operation completes).

This situation is very inconvenient; will it be fixed please?

For me, it works when I start the drag operation on the icons of the selected file(s).
I then get the menu and can select to move or copy.
For collisions, I can see that FC is used in this case and not TeraCopy.

The normal Copy/Move buttons are all working fine, using TeraCopy.

Thank you very much for your reply, horst.epp!

I see if I start the drag-and-drop operation on the icon of a selected file, the situation improves a bit, in that the Windows dialog box appears. But still no TeraCopy.

So I am eager for this situation to be fixed.

But in the meantime (while I want to drag-and-drop), where/what are the Copy/Move buttons are you talking about?

The buttons are between the 2 Windows.
FC changes the arrows on it depending on the current active side.
I always use the buttons, never drag and drop.
It's much faster to click and one of the reasons to have a 2 windows file manager.
This is how it looks

[coyote]

Ah, interesting, thank you. I use FC configured with one window, though.

OK, I got exasperated with this situation, and un-/re-installed FC.

TeraCopy worked on the initial new install, when I copied a file between panes. But only after I changed this setting:
File/Folder operations|General|both Copy & Move enable Use external program

Then I did the rest of my customizations (itemized here) to mimic 'File Explorer' look and feel. (You see, I want a one-pane File Explorer setup, I just can't live without a column that shows the size of folders.)

I learned what several weeks ago stopped utilizing my system file handler TeraCopy: copy and move within the same pane (which is what I warmly embraced FC for). When I toggle to 2 panes with F10, I find that FC does still use TeraCopy between panes (the way I don't use it).

I wonder if our Marek is even going to see this in this non-recent post; if not maybe I should message him or submit a new post specifying that I discovered that the external file handler call has been broken for drag-and-drop within the same pane.

Edit: Now I can't even get it to work between panes, but that could be because I never used two panes before and am very confused about how to do it.

I installed current version 3.17 of the TeraCopy in the VM for testing and i really do not know what is your problem.
For me all works fine.
Send me your FreeCommander settings files and describe which operation does not work for you.

[horst.epp]

For me,
drag and drop with TeraCopy (4.0) works fine in single pane mode (F10) of FC.

Made this only for testing.
I will never understand why someone uses this mode
and gives away the benefit of all two pane file managers.

[Marek]

Send me your FreeCommander settings files and describe which operation does not work for you.

Thanks for your settings and proper description.

Currently the option "File/folder operations -> External tool is used for drag&drop" is ignored for the tree nodes (you should activate the option for the next release).
Fixed for the next release.
