Custom Copy delayed decisions.

AS CC lately being modified i remembered one of two things i lacked in it for years - ability to settle all conflict situation at the end. Often happens situation when you put some large data operation and go away from PC just to come later and see only 5% was done and whole this time CC was waiting say for collision decision of one item.
I'd wish CC to get an option to "skip" such situations and first make all operations that don't need user decisions, and ask everything in the end, so to say when all conflicts are gathered for user to settle.

Obviously a good thing, but might be tricky. Sometimes decisions might be needed now to continue the job in a certain direction.
So, what kind of conflict situations could be settled at the end?

lets me answer this in example. lets say we select 4 folders for copy:
aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd.
in process
bbb gets name collision, and currently whole process will stop waiting or decision(yep, user could settle hard decision in settings, but lets be honest it's impractical for daily basis). new feature would allow to copy
aaa, ccc, ddd first and then ask what to do with
bbb.
as i understand your question is about situation like when
ccc has internally
cc1, cc2, cc3, cc4
and 2 of them have collisions too - how to settle this.? i see it quite same way, first copy 2 others and leave collision-ones for later.
so basically process would look like this:
Code: Select all
aaa > no collision > coping
bbb > !collision > put in end of stack
ccc > no collisoon > coping
cc1 > no collision> coping
cc2 > !collision > put in end of stack
cc3 > !collision > put in end of stack
cc4 > no collision > copying
ddd > no collision > copying
bbb > ask what to do?
cc2 > ask what to do?
cc4 > ask what to do?
if while coping say
bbb there is another collision of subs, same put it in end of stack and proceed with other items.

Yes, please something like this is needed, or at least an option to make XYcopy play sounds when an error/warning occur and when finishing the transfer, which hopefully is less difficult/tedious to implement. There has been lots of times where I've left a transfer only to return to the window or the computer and see XYcopy is waiting for me to choose what to do with the file collision, it would be a life saver to have it play sounds.

Use Fast Copy as Custom Copy Handler.
You can set options like NonStop and others to get what you want.

Fast Copy is "basic" like Norton Commander, yet neither has functionality, nor style.

If you set Fast Copy as Custom Copy handler in XY you have nothing to do with its style
and it has definitely the functionality to make non-stop copies as requested if its used by XY.
For me it looks like you don't know much about Fast Copy, its definitely not a Norton Clone of a file manager.

emm.. nope, i didn't ask for non-stop copy but "selective/smart copy", quite opposite to dumb non-stop(and style Does matter a LOT).
for me it looks like you don't understand a wish at all, and for some reason trying to advertise and app that can do nothing more than XY Custom Copy already can.

+1
modern Windows versions put the conflict resolution dialogue at the end of copy job
