(Sorry for my english, i hope you can understand what i mean ;))

I tried FastCopy and i cant notice any differences to the TC copy speed.

i used this Command:

Code: Select all

Command: %Commander_Path%\Adds\FastCopy\Fastcopy.exe /auto_close /open_window /cmd=noexist_only /estimate 
Parameter: %P%S /to="%T"
I copied a big Image (img), a Game-Folder and some other stuff and FastCopy showed the same remaining time which showed TC

or does the TC show the wrong time left?
or do i have to copy really big files <10 GB?

i copied a 40GB big folder and the difference was about 15 min, is this normal?
or do i expect wonder? cuz i expected some bigger differences also with smaller files/folders

Nuclear0508,

Thanks so much for your info about how to add Fastcopy as a button.
The solution to being able to copy selected and not just one folder is to change the Parameters %P%N to only %S. I got this idea from the other answers in this topic. You also have to remove %TMP% in the Startpath entry (leave it blank) or Total Commander will look for the selected files/folders somewhere in your windows user folders (they won't exist there of course). After you make these changes you can mark multiple files/folders as usual and use Fastcopy to do the job :D

Thanks again for getting us on the right track :)

This solution is related to adding Fastcopy in the button menu. The very first post of this topic. I found it much quicker than the other ways.
