[REQ] Copy/Move improvements

Post by *Alexejs »

i can't find if there is possibility to copy searched files from listbox after "Feed to Listbox" with corresponding folders creation on target drive.

OR
i want to copy only those files wich satisfy some criterias (size, time, etc). It would be nice if there would be "Advanced search criteria" or "Advanced filtering criteria" in Copy/Move dialog, something like Advanced options in Search dialog. This Advanced criteria option can be placed under Options button or another good version of implementation

You can use the Treecopy Plus packer plugin for this.

Install it, then select the needed files after 'feed to listbox' and instead of pressing F5, use ALT+F5 to 'pack' the files and select the Treecopy plugin in that dialog. Hit OK and the files will be copied including the folder tree. You also can configure nr of upper directory levels to include.

Alexejs,

Save a search and then select it in the Copy dialog under Only files of this type.

i don't talk about file types, but about file parameters like file size, etc

And that is what Hacker gives you a recipe for.

Try this:

Make a search where you in the Advanced tab selects for example "File size:" > 1 Mb

Then go to the General tab and delete whatever is in the "Search in:" field.

Finally click the Load/Save tab, and save the search under for example the name: bigfiles

Now, go to a directory of your choice with some files bigger than 1 Mb. Mark all files (small and big ones) for copying. In the Copy dialog under "Only files of this type:" write >bigfiles (or use the dropdown list to find >bigfiles) and start copying. Only files bigger than 1 Mb will be copied!

thanks, i have tried already :) it's really works.
BUT. I should say that this implementation is awkward and not intuitively understandable. There should be possibility to configure copy parameters in copy/move dialog, not in absolutely another dialog box
