XYplorer Beta Club
Hello,
Since I was tired of waiting for the fix of the file copy freezing bug on Windows Vista and 7 and the latest versions of TeraCopy seem far from stable (random crashes, incomplete copies, ...) I decided to move to FastCopy and created a very simple (it's enough for me) FastCopy integration script based on the Teracopy one.
Here it is for anyone who wants to give it a try...
regards
FastCopy integration

Re: FastCopy integration
Thank you for getting FastCopy and XYplorer to play together. At the risk of sounding greedy, the one function I really miss from the TeraCopy script is the ability to choose the destination folder from XYplorer's Move/Copy/Backup To-list. After trying 
to go through the TeraCopy script (advanced is definitely the word I'm looking for), it seems the only needed changes to that script to support FastCopy are the three "open" commands. The "open" commands consist of three variable parts: the complete path of the program file, the desired command (TeraCopy calls copying copy while FastCopy calls it diff, etc.) and finally any additional parameters for each program. Both programs accept the name of a text file with the list of items to be acted upon, as a parameter, so no problems there.
Would it be possible to generalize the TeraCopy script so that changing between TeraCopy, FastCopy and possibly other such programs is a question of changing a single constant (well, variable at the moment) with an if/else block setting the parameters for the know copying programs? It seems wasteful to reinvent the wheel for each copying program. I'll also post this in the TeraCopy integration thread to see what the author of that script thinks.
Thank you again.
