Customized Drag'n'drop?

[Wwolf]

Hello! Long time no post.

I've tested XYplorer back in July 2008 when I changed computer.

The sole reason was one: migrating files from one disk to another without losing the original timestamp.

XYplorer allowed to overcome this with the Backup command. Nice.

It took me quite a time back then because I couldn't run multiple windows. I'm testing it now and this Double Pane makes things much easier, specially because I can backup by drag'n'dropping.

However, it's still not agile enough, taking in account the huge amount of files I have to move. I always have to drag'n'drop with the right-button and choose "backup" from a list (customizing backup to erase the original would also be great).

By default drag'n'drop with mice's left button makes a copy, but is there any way I can speed backup on the fly without choosing it from the list? I mean, customizing the action of the left button?

Thank you

Well, you have Backup To in the Edit menu, and there's a scripting command backupto... what else do you want?

Just to provide a bit more of a complete answer to accompany Don's.

Such an option doesn't currently exist, but using the scripting or User Defined Command features of the Pro edition you can set up a whole multitude of ways to achieve the same thing with a single click or shortcut key.
Actually, on taking a second look the wiki is woefully out of date concerning BackupTo, so you might be better off consulting XY's help files.

But for a small example a small script that will Backup the active list pane's selection to the inactive pane:

Code: Select all

Focus("List");BackupTo("<get path i>");
