Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
I haver TeraCopy properly installed and integrated with the shell (so I can use it with ctrl+c/v in windows explorer). But I just can't get it to work for copy/move operations in XYplorer. I have read all the support here I could find and I think I have all the settings correct and the path to TC is also correct. Yet copy/paste operations still seem to use native windows copy. See attached pics. Any ideas pls?

Re: Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
Do you run a 64-bit version of Windows? If so, you need to use the %ProgramW6432%-variable to denote TeraCopy's Program Files-folder.
Additionally, you may want to specify separate copy and move switches like so:

Re: Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
Thank you very much for this. I had checked the original path in Windows Explorer and it pointed to the TeraCopy folder, nevertheless I did put the path suggested by you (which also works in Windows explorer, points to TeraCopy). Yet, nothing changes with your suggested script, I still get the windows copy or move dialogue/progress box when I try to copy or move something.

To make sure, can you post a screenshot of your current External Copy Handlers-dialog?
Re: Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
Below is what it says after your suggestion (and "select copy handler" is now pointed to the last one). As I said, if I put "%ProgramW6432%\TeraCopy\" in Windows Explorer, it does jump into the TeraCopy directory.
TeraCopy (Rename All)|C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/RenameAll
TeraCopy (Overwrite Older)|C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/OverwriteOlder
TeraCopy|C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/Close /open_window
TeraCopy new|%ProgramW6432%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|Copy|Move
TeraCopy (Rename All)|C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/RenameAll
TeraCopy (Overwrite Older)|C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/OverwriteOlder
TeraCopy|C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/Close /open_window
TeraCopy new|%ProgramW6432%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|Copy|Move

Does it make a difference if you delete all four lines and then copy the line I suggested?rimanek wrote: ↑05 Apr 2021 19:11 Below is what it says after your suggestion (and "select copy handler" is now pointed to the last one).

Re: Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
I tried and no difference.
Re: Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
There remains one final test if you want: run XYplorer with a fresh configuration; add:
Code: Select all
TeraCopy|%ProgramW6432%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|Copy|Move
Re: Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
Thank you very much. So as bizarre as it is:
The fresh profile still doesn't activate TeraCopy.
But if I put your script (the path part) into windows explorer, it does open TeraCopy.
I am at a complete loss.

That's very odd.
FWIW, XYplorer's native background copy functionality is very good and supports undo?

Re: Unable to get TeraCopy integration to work :(
Ok. My main reason for using TeraCopy is to maintain "created" and "modified" stamps when copying or moving files. I presume XYplorer copy engine allows that if I select "preserve all item dates"?
I have tried checking "custom copy" and deleted any scripts, so I presume that should select the XYplorer copy engine, right? How do I know if it's working? If I try to copy a file over the same file, I still get a windows dialogue asking me if i want to overwrite or skip. The same one I get when I had TeraCopy selected, which didn't seem to work.

That's right.
Below are screenshots of my settings:I have tried checking "custom copy" and deleted any scripts, so I presume that should select the XYplorer copy engine, right? How do I know if it's working?

Just my 2 cents: I long ago dropped Teracopy (purchased) in favor of FastCopy (free). The main reason was fatal file-losing bugs in TC, and its general clunkiness. In the years since TC has no doubt been improved but I'm not going back. FastCopy is great, and integrates fine in XY.

Unfortunately FastCopy doesn't seem to support preserving date created and modified, when copying and moving?Malarki wrote: ↑09 Apr 2021 07:32 Just my 2 cents: I long ago dropped Teracopy (purchased) in favor of FastCopy (free).

I use FastCopy since years in Total Commander and it definitely preserves this dates !nas8e9 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2021 08:57Unfortunately FastCopy doesn't seem to support preserving date created and modified, when copying and moving?Malarki wrote: ↑09 Apr 2021 07:32 Just my 2 cents: I long ago dropped Teracopy (purchased) in favor of FastCopy (free).
