requesting help for SlowCopy version 2.0.1 to work !!!

[Sam York]

Well, I had the older version of SlowCopy that I integrated without any problem with TC. But the new one it just doesn't work with almost any combination parameters that I tried(a lot of them) !

Is there anyone that has the new version and it's working? If so, what parameters have been used?

On some machines you can put the parameters : %P %T %L without the quotes, but on others you have to put : "%P" "%T" "%L" with all the quotes.

No, it ain't it! It works for you? And how?

Recently tested it: (version 2.0.1.29)

1. Extracted the contents of the Slowcopy.zip archive to %PROGRAMFILES%\Total Commander\Addons\
2. Dragged the SlowCopy.exe to the buttonbar.
3. Pressed change on the new button.
4. Command: Unchanged,
Parameters: "%P" "%T" "%L"
StartPath: Empty

In my case, I use the "Start Menu", so, I added a new item with the following parameters :

Command : C:\wincmd\SlowCopy\SlowCopy.exe (Or wherever you have slow copy)
Parameters : "%P" "%T" "%L"
Start Path : (empty)

Sam York, lzvk25,

I downloaded SlowCopy 2.0.1.29 today and it works perfect in button bar. I have not integrated it into StartMenu.

Consulting Readme.htm delivered with SlowCopy for integration into menu bar it says:

Installing
(...) and for the StartMenu a pair of extra quotes is required ""%P" "%T" "%L"" (...)

Maybe this is solution to Your problem, that You MUST put extra Quotes > " < around the parameters.

After having put SlowCopy into the Start Menu, is there a way to use F5 as shortcut? The only possible shortcuts are always Ctrl+Key or Shift+Ctrl+Key: too complicated and you can not use the Ctrl feature with SlowCopy (pause).

[Sam York]

For JP:

It is possible. You just have to add it to the Start Menu as Dominik said and then remap F5 to cm_usermenuX where X is the position of Total Copy in your Start Menu.

I got slowcopy working to copy files. How do you setup slowcopy to also move and delete files ? Thx, Gilles

Here is a program that seems way better than SlowCopy. Also, it integrates with the system, so it can be used from within TC w/o a problem:

Copy Handler program is a small tool designed for copy/move files and folders between different storage medias (hard disks, floppy disks, local networks, CD-ROMs and many other).

* copying data at 6-7 times faster than standard MS Windows copying (when copying data from one partiton to another on the same physical hard disk)

* allow full-control over the copying/moving process by pause, resume, restart and cancel features

* fully customizable - over 60 detailed options - from setting language (english and polish) through auto-resume on error, shutting down system after copying finished to very detailed and technical (customizing copy/move thread - buffer sizes, thread priority, ...) ending on sounds on specific events

* provides detailed informations about copy/move process (currect file, buffer sizes, priority, progress by size and visual bar, status, current and average speed, time elapsed/left, ...)

* auto resume all unfinished operations when system starts

* limiting count of simultaneously processing tasks (copyings/movings) - tasks are set into a queue and are processed in order it was inserted into queue

* integration with system - adds additional commands to context menus of folders and drag&drop menus (Copy by Copy Handler, Move by Copy Handler, Paste (Special) by
Copy Handler, ...)
