Don, would you be so kind to include the option to use FastCopy directly, as well?
In summary the fastest of all external copy tools and it's portable (and freeware) as well.

I was thinking the same thing.
AFAICS, both the utilities (TC and FC) take as input the same things: the type of operation, the source, the target, and then a bunch or params. The order is different tho.
Maybe the whole thing can be named "Third Party File Operations" and present a text box where you specify the path to the executable and then the structure of the accepted command line, using placeholders.
So, for TC ( http://support.codesector.com/index.php ... mmand-line ) And for FC ( http://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en )

FC is okay, I will do that.

I think it will be too much work or even impossible to find a general scheme to cover all possible command line syntaxes for 3rd party copiers. It will be easier for me and the user if I supply an easy but rather hard-coded way to use specific products.

Thanks Don.

A general question: Will it be possible to autoelevate these external copy handlers (regardless if teracopy or fastcopy) when they use a path from inside the "CustomCopyBlacklist.dat" file?

FastCopy is definitely great. It's my primary copier and it's really portable and that includes the shell extension. It's so easy to just install the shell extension when you need it and then uninstall when you don't need it. Plus the fact that you can customize it too. Anyways...

TeraCopy is the most popular copier. FastCopy is actually also well known as the fastest copier. So it's good that if you do implement them (well, you already have TeraCopy), they're not very "niche", if that's the right way to describe it.

And FastCopy is Japanese!

Yes.

Fine. But how (with v13.40.0204) do we set e.g. FastCopy as the default handler for all copy operations with the tweaks removed?

Run the copier command (like copier "FastCopy|C:\Program Files\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close";) for example from the Address Bar and it will set FastCopy as a default handler.

Scripting:

FastCopy! Yesssssss!!! (òÓ,)_\,,/

I wouldn't call that a "default handler" as long as you have to use a script (command) first to change it into one ;(

Please allow relative path if possible;

FastCopy|..\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close

or

FastCopy|<xydrive>\Portable Files\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe|/auto_close

Neither works.

works fine on my system...

eh? How do you pass a command onto an executable residing outside of XY's root using that?
