Keep all, delete read only/hidden etc... in settings?

Post by *miskox »

Hello all!

Occasionally I have to move large quantities of data (many GB and/or many files) from internal disks to external disks. Many times I receive questions such as:

- delete hidden/read only etc. files (there is an option to check this when selecting F6 move)
- the target name length (xxx) is more than 259 characters.... and I select Keep all
- maybe some others.

I use standalone version of TC on my external drive. Are there any settings in the .ini file I could use to skip these questions?

(searched thru settings etc. but no luck)

Thanks.

[1]

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
OverwriteReadonly=1
OverwriteHidSys=1
OverwriteHidSysNotReadonly=1

Notes:
Ask before overwriting/deleting read-only files (1/0).
Ask before overwriting/deleting hidden/system files (1/0).
Ask before overwriting/deleting hidden/system files without read-only attribute (standard copy method only) (0/1).
[2]

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
LongNameCopy=1

Notes:
During file operations, warn if target name is longer than 259 characters:
	0: Always.
	1: Never.
	2: Warn only if source name isn't longer than 259 characters.
	3: Disallow long names, let user skip or rename.
