<AddOn> Update: MultiCopy to TAB v5.8/25 Sep 2010

Balderstrom,

>> decent program that requires the registry will write to it upon execution

I try as hard as possible to be _really_ decent and NOT write anything to the Registry <g>

>> Size is irrelevant

I do not agree at all. While it's true that for benefit reasons the big companies disregarde code efficiency, so as to be able to get their new version out asap, I don't consider this good programming, or even good behaviour...

As I said, "This does not 'cost' anything "

New Version out:

--- Bug fixes (Remember that I work on this only since July 26th)

--- Some esthetic changes asked for by users

Nice work but I just have a problem with long path containing spaces !

File list :

R:\ ! Applications_Portables\! OQP\Portable_TeamViewer_4,1,6467_Fr_ContrôleDistance.ZIP
R:\ ! Applications_Portables\! OQP\Portable_UltraExplorer_2,0,3,1_Fr_GestionnaireDeFichiers.ZIP

Displayed into CopyToTabs as :

R:\ ! Applications_Portables\! OQP\Portable_TeamViewer_4,1,6467_Fr_ContrôleDistance.ZIP
R:\ ! Applications_Portables\!
OQP\Portable_UltraExplorer_2,0,3,1_Fr_GestionnaireDeFichiers.ZIP

So, the second file to copy is taken as two files :
1° R:\ ! Applications_Portables\!
2° OQP\Portable_UltraExplorer_2,0,3,1_Fr_GestionnaireDeFichiers.ZIP
and they are not found !

Last minute : "descript.ion" is not updated with your soft.

Vansumsen,

>> Nice work but I just have a problem with long path containing spaces !

Ah! Yesterday I started a thread in this forum

http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=23324

because I had the same problem! A long thread in which I learned many things out TC, but nothing helped. I reverted to a previous Beta 7 directory and it worked there, and not with Beta 8...This morning everything returned to normal, and I have no idea why. Please have a look at the other thread, at least you can find some ideas to test.

I just tested with almost your data:

Code: Select all

c:\ ! Applications_Portables\! OQP\Favorites, french, eeepc.zip

And it worked perfectly! Both with two prepared files and the automatic, ad-hoc TC dependent method.

So it seems really like my own, unexplainrd problem

Version 4.0.0.0 uploaded just now.

Added a RadioGroup allowing: (from the help):

Code: Select all

The Green RadioGroup "File Types to Show" Allows loading a normal *.LST file, but also
allows ADDING any file to the currently loaded list. This allows flexibility in loading
ad-hoc some files from different locations to the list. Of course you can save the list
as always with Alt-RightClick on the list.

I also corrected several keyboard short-cuts and some bugs...

About version 4.0.0.0 :
1° My second file in "File list" is always truncated and an error box is displayed when I Start Copying

2° The checkbox for exit after execution is not displayed

3° "descript.ion" is not updated into the destinations dir

Paul,

Thank you for the report!

>> 1° My second file in "File list" is always truncated and an error box is displayed when I Start Copying

This is strange. Is this not because you load a file without telling CTT to use it "as-is" and not try to interret it as a LST list ?

>> 2° The checkbox for exit after execution is not displayed

I saw it, and instead of just correcting this problem, and after several aesthetical comments from users, I (agains my conviction) changed the layout so as to have a "Config" button which opens a new, very clear, form. Unfortunately this "costs" another mouse click.

>>3° "descript.ion" is not updated into the destinations dir

I don't understand this comment? Do you mean it is not copied? MAybe it is a matter of attributes? I never considered this as the reason for the program is backups, and they are rarely Hidde, System etc...

Thank you.

If you consider DL'ing the new layout, Please remember that I have a working version of the old layout, and will probably use the old (bug free AFAIK) version. It will be always available.

1° The file.lst is Ok. when I load it the display in CTT is correct,
but when I start de copy the display change
and the second path is splited into two lines.

2°

3° Out of Tc it is difficult to manage the descript.ion

Paul,

Could you post the contents of your LST file? or, if it is too lomg than only the first 3-4 files?

As I said,I also had this problem (on one out of 3 PCs), and reverting to TC B7 solved it... Then I reinstalled TC B8 and it remaind OK until now.

The file.lst contains only two paths…

R:\ ! Applications_Portables\! OQP\Portable_TeamViewer_4,1,6467_Fr_ContrôleDistance.ZIP
R:\ ! Applications_Portables\! OQP\Portable_UltraExplorer_2,0,3,1_Fr_GestionnaireDeFichiers.ZIP

Tried with TC7.50ß7 and TC7.5ß8 on a XP Pro Sp3 and a Vista machine !
Always the same behaviour.

Edited : The checkbox for exit after execution is not displayed only in Horizontal mode

Paul,

>> Tried with TC7.50ß7 and TC7.5ß8 on a XP Pro Sp3 Always the same behaviour.

I checked, and oyu are RIGHT (= I can reproduce the problem). I don't understand that. I'll have a look at it and report back.

>> Edited : The checkbox for exit after execution is not displayed only in Horizontal mode

There is a whole different way with those settings now - I put 4 settings on a different form so the main one is less cluttered.

Vansumsen,

I am sorry for the previous comments about your problem being similar to mine -- I misunderstood you.

This also means that I am the only one who ever had this strange behaviour of my program !!!

Found the reason for your problem and corrected it.

Thank you.

I need to do a couple more changes, so please do not yet download the new version. I'll correct the title of the thread with the new version when I am ready.

Vansumsen,

I just released version 4.2.0.0.

I hope this will be the last one... Your bug is corrected, and I added several other checks _while_ loading both TAB and LST files.

Since the configuration is now invisible, I added 7 "hidden" keyboard shortcuts to toggle settings. They are documented in the help, but also:

RightClick on the Help Button will display all the hidden shortcuts! Unusual, I agree...

Thanks !

PAul,

Many thanks for your comments and help. People like to complain, but seldom help resolve the problem, even for a free software...

By now I've released a slightly improved version, with some more clickable labels. v4.2.5.0
