To tosbsas:
Try this:
Param=%P%S /to="%T"

It's indeed very fast

Over a network i get roughly the same speed using FastCopy as to TC own.

(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

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.
