TeraCopy, why single out RenameAll & OverwriteOlder?

Post by petrus »

Hi, while "looking up" how to integrate TeraCopy i found:
http://www.xyplorer.com/release_13.50.htm#ExCopy

Where it says to configure the copy handler like this:
TeraCopy (Rename All)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/RenameAll
TeraCopy (Overwrite Older)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/OverwriteOlder

Now my question is, why did you single out RenameAll & OverwriteOlder?

Why not have as the prime example the more general:
TeraCopy|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe

And just mention the optional parameters:
/OverwriteOlder /RenameAll /OverwriteAll /NoClose /Close /SkipAll

TeraCopy (Overwrite Older)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/OverwriteOlder
TeraCopy (Rename All)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/RenameAll
TeraCopy (Overwrite All)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/OverwriteAll
TeraCopy (No Close)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/NoClose
TeraCopy (Close)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/Close
TeraCopy (Skip All)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/SkipAll

Which can be combined like: TeraCopy (No Close + Rename All)|%ProgramFiles%\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe|/NoClose /RenameAll

Also, XYplorer doesn't use TeraCopy when it is set as the "default copy file handler" in Windows...
Is that a bug? Shouldn't TeraCopy be used when "use custom copy" is UNCHECKED? Thanks!

p.s. it is possible to install TeraCopy directly into your XYplorer folder
and just use this as the copy handler: TeraCopy|TeraCopy.exe
(to make TeraCopy portable rename "portable.txt" to "portable")
