Using FastCopy from XYplorer

Post by Borut »

Script for using FastCopy from XYplorer

Usage intention:

Suited for those who copy objects by dragging them from one tab onto another
(i.e. not using the tree while copying): Instead of dropping them onto the
destination tab, wait a moment until the destination tab becomes active and
then drop them on the new FC-button. This new button invokes a script, which
uses FastCopy to perform a fast copy operation.

Installation prerequisites:

* Go to http://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en and download fastcopy exe files

Usage:
* Assumption: Objects you want to copy are visible in one XYplorer tab,
while destination folder is opened in another XYplorer tab
* Select objects to be copied
* Drag them over to the destination tab and hover above, until the tab
becomes active - attention: still do not drop on the tab!
* Now drag further to the new FC button in the toolbar
* Drop on the button
* The fastcopy window should appear at that moment, prompting you
to execute the copy operation

See the script file itself for the script installation details.

Do not blame me if something goes wrong.

Just to note, if you run FastCopy.exe > Options > Shell Extension, you can actually change what will show up in the Shell menu of Windows. In my options, I have Copy (FastCopy) and Move (FastCopy) option allowed under the Drag/Drop Extension. I also have Paste (FastCopy) under Right Click Extension. I can now simply Drag and Drop whatever file I have in a tab onto another tab and it will show up those Shell commands.

Of course I'm not saying your script is pointless because it's perfect for Portable usage.

Thanks!
