Post by *compie »

From the history.txt:

01.01.07 Release Total Commander 6.56 final
01.01.07 Fixed: USB stick detection from TC7 ported to TC 6.56

What exactly is USB stick detection?

Ok, I first thought it had something to do with running TC from an USB stick.

No, it's a detection whether a specific drive letter is pointing to an USB stick. Writing to USB sticks is dead-slow on Windows XP and Vista when using WriteFile, because Microsoft "forgot" to cache the writing. Therefore TC automatically uses CopyFileEx (= compatibility mode) when copying to USB sticks.
