External copy (and move) with dialogue

I use TeraCopy as my external copier:
e:\PortableApps\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe Copy *%ActivSelAsFile% "%InactivDir%"
as I used to in v2009.02b but I find in all versions of FC XE that I've tried to date that I get no confirmation dialogue when I press F5 (unless the file exists already). If I switch to using Windows or FC to do the copy, I do get the dialogue.

I'm running Windows 7 Professional. I can try it on other machines, and under XP, if others have difficulty reproducing this.

Works fine for me in build 644 on win7x64sp1 with latest Tera Copy v2.3:

Try using "copy" instead of "Copy", although the uppercase shouldn't matter...
Or Tera Copy works but I misunderstood the problem?

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough.

The copy (and move) work fine but I don't get the confirmation dialogue from FC XE when I press F5 (or F6 for Move), it just goes straight ahead and calls TeraCopy. In the previous version of FC, F5 asked for confirmation before copying. Currently F5 and Shift/F5 are indistinguishable when using external copy program (likewise F6 and Shift/F6).

Currently running FC XE build 645 and TeraCopy 2.3 under Win7 Pro 32-bit.

Oh, I understand! I also don't get the Copy dialog when using F5 and TeraCopy as external copy program. I do get the dialog for Windows method or FCXE's own method.

This problem appears to be fixed in Build 650 donor.

Thanks,
