Get Teracopy into custom drag'n'drop menu?

Hi all,
I just bought a new computer that has Windows 7 64 bit preinstalled (damn them, I hate this OS
). In any case, since Explorer is a joke in Win 7 I'm looking for a replacement and so I'm testing XYplorer and so far I'm pretty impressed. However, I use Teracopy (with drag'n'drop) and read that it can't be integrated yet as a default copy handler. But is it possible to get it into the custom drag'n'drop menu? At the moment I have turned it off so I can use Teracopy, but I'd really love to have them both at my disposal without having to click twice.
Hope you can help.
Best wishes,
Angela

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!
I'm presuming you've found this thread already?
http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2596
It may not be ideal but may give some assist to your problem of hooking Teracopy into XY...and yes, it's a LONG thread so look at the end and work up.

Hi + welcome,
may I ask why TeraCopy? What has TeraCopy that XYplorer has not?

Yes, I've seen that thread.
I'd like to use Teracopy for larger files because it's usually faster if I copy/move lots of larger files. For all other things I'd like to use XYplorer. That's why I want to have both in the context menu.
Best wishes,
Angela

OK, I'm eager to see how quick XY's copying gets with XYcopy 2.0. The race is opened.

Also, TeraCopy has checksumming - kinda like a poor man's ZFS, but still better than Windows/Linux/MacOSX's general "fingers-crossed-hope-it-copied-alright" attitude to file copying.
End-to-End Data Integrity
Under Solaris ZFS, all your data is protected by 256-bit checksums, resulting in 99.99999999999999999% error detection and correction. Solaris ZFS constantly reads and checks data to help ensure it is correct, and if it detects an error in a storage pool with redundancy (protected with mirroring, Solaris ZFS RAIDZ, or Solaris ZFS RAIDZ2), Solaris ZFS automatically repairs the corrupt data. This contributes to relentless availability by helping to protect against costly and time-consuming data loss due to hardware or software failure and by reducing the chance of administrator error when performing file system-related tasks.

99.99999999999999999% is lame. XYcopy 2.0 will have 100% error detection.

...but will it have error correction ala ZFS?

No, because it won't make errors.
