Custom copy failures

Post by MBaas »

I confess: I sometimes attempt to overwrite files while having them open in another app. SaveCopy has an option to show which files couldn't be copied - but what I would like even more was if at the end of the copy these files wouldn't be unselected.
Is it worth posting that under "Wishes" or is there a trick or a tweak that I am missing?

It's not what you asked for, but which option in Configuration > File Operations > Custom Copy Operations > Configure > On failures, do you currently use? Do Ask or Cancel work better for you?

I'm using "Continue" - which is sort of right (I think): I want it to whatever is possible and then let me deal with the exceptions...

But maybe I should try "Ask" instead! That sounds even better, the more I think about it :oops:

Ask has the slight disadvantage that the file operations pauses until you answered the question.
Not ideal for big jobs you would like to run unattended.
I liked the part of your request for it to do what it can and then deal with the remnants at the end.
If this was possible with "Ask" that would be great, i.e gather all the conflicts and bring them up at the end of the job.

That would be more complex than it might seem and probably a can of worms, too. So: Not at the moment.
