Is it possible to copy files sorted by name?

Post by *nicholas_k »

I'm copying an audiobook to the usb MP3 player using F5 in TotalCommander. Files are named 001.mp3, 002.mp3 etc. I see in the progress bar that files are copied in some exotic order (e.g. 045.mp3, 012.mp3, 075.mp3). When finished, I press play… and player plays my book in the order the files have been copied.

Is it possible to force the TotalCommander to copy files sorted by name?

Files selected by you are copied in displayed order. Files in subdirectories are copied according INI setting:
TOTALCMD.chm section 4.b wrote:SubdirCopyOrder=4
Order in which files in subdirs are copied:
4: Unsorted
0..3: Ascending by name, ext, size, date/time
-1..-4: Descending by name, ext, size, date/time
5: The same as in the active panel (no custom columns or add. sort orders)
So try to set SubdirCopyOrder parameter in [Configuration] section of wincmd.ini to 0 or 5 and restart TC.

I can't find any setting with such a name in my wincmd.ini. When I've added it, nothing changed. My TC version is 7.50

This Option was added with TC 8
Any reason why you are using such an old TC version ?

There wasn't any reason to update so far, since old version did all things I needed. Now, of course, I'll update. Much thanks!
