is there a way to drag lots of folder from another application to the source ?

[giulia]

Hi

I would like to drag lots of folders from different partition with files from another application and use all of them as source and select a panel as destination and perform a copy

could be possible ?

I have tought about fastcopy but there is a limit

over MAX_PATH (260 characters) file pathnames

thanks

To begin with, make sure your "another application" and Total Commander are running within the compatible permission scope.
Otherwise, no drag-and-drop operations would be available in your scenario at all.
Windows won't allow such interactions from a user-mode source process to the elevated target process.
For example, if Total Commander is running with elevated privileges (ran as administrator) the same is required for your "another application", or vice versa, when "another application" is running in the current user mode you need to run Total Commander as such too.

Read and understand what the docu says.
It supports UNICODE and over MAX_PATH (260 characters) file pathnames.

File names can never be longer than 260 characters, only path names can be very long.
And this long path names are supported !

hi
ok , but it does copy only files and not folders , does not keep folders structure
try to drag and drop files from a musicplayer like foobar or musicbee
thanks

Not 260, but 255. This is a limitation for path components, not just for names.

It does copy folder structures, for sure.
I use it all the time with deep structures.
Here are my parameters for the copy button.
/cmd=update /balloon=FALSE /log=FALSE /auto_close /srcfile_w="%WL" /to="%T"
It copies all selected files or dirs into the target.
It also does it using drag and drop if the shell extensions are enabled.
