FreeCommander Forum

There are a couple of old postings about usage of FastCopy or other tools for file operations.
(settings -> file/folder operations -> General -> Delete/Copy/Move -> Use external program)
I did not find a solution in these discussions for file or folder names with spaces.

I like to raise again the issue. Now with the similar tool UltraFastCopy.
And the example for moving files or folders:
• C:\path\UltraFastCopy.exe --move="%InactivDir%|%ActivSel%"
This does work in FreeCommander well only for files/folders without spaces.

But from the DOS command line this syntax does work well for all files!
Of course the FC-parameters are replaced in this case with real files/folders.

This seems to be not an issue with UltraFastCopy or FastCopy, but with FreeCommander.
I tried various other combinations of quotation marks in the syntax within FreeCommander, but without success.

Any hints, what can be done?

BTW: FreeCommander and EveryThing are the most important and the best tools for daily work on computer!
I even created in the win registry a new protocol comm:///x:/path/ in order to open paths in FreeCommander and not in Win-FileManager.
With EveryThing to open folders the context menu can be modified to open a folder with FreeCommander and not with Win-FileManager.

I think, FreeCommander for %InactivDir% and %ActivSel% add automatically double quote.
So you have probably to many double quotes.
I would try:
