TeraCopy Integration

Post by *Phred »

I'm looking for a more robust, flexible, self-managing copy function than the one(s) TC offers, and as far as I can determine TeraCopy looks as though it might fill the bill.

'Resume' is the primary feature I'm after - TC's copy of a 4 GB file failed the other day as one computer on the LAN here rebooted. After 2 gigs Copy had to start again. TeraCopy says it will allow you to resume, and to recover from errors, copy 'faster', etc..

There's a couple of comments here on the (English) forum about TeraCopy integration - but nothing I can find that says how. Funnily enough I have a button in TC that seems to work, but I've forgotten where I got the information from. Maybe with this thread TeraCopy integration can be integrated.

The button configuration is:
Command: C:\Program Files\WApplets\TeraCopy Portable\teracopy.exe
Parameters: Copy *"%L" "%T"
Start path: C:\Program Files\WApplets\TeraCopy Portable\
Icon file: C:\Program Files\WApplets\TeraCopy Portable\teracopy.exe
Tooltip: TeraCopy

Any suggestions?

From Taracopy help:

Code: Select all

Use buttons in the Total Commander button bar. Click on "Add buttons" in the TeraCopy configuration window to integrate buttons to the Total Commander.

Explain?

Post by *Phred »

Ah yes, thanks solid, that explains where it came from. I must have guessed at a help resource, too.

You can't explain the codes, can you? The actions, more precisely.

I see this in TC help:
%L Long file names including the complete path, e.g. c:\Program Files\Long name.exe
%T inserts the current target path.
The asterisk..?

One particular thing is that TeraCopy insists on running with administrative permissions - even for folders that I, as an ordinary user, have complete access to. (I claim that administration should be performed by administrators. And that 'usage' should be done by users.)
Can anyone see how to use TeraCopy on a button with ordinary permissions?

In the Watsnew.txt file from TeraCopy portable :
If you're using Total Commander, please change button parameter from
Copy "%L" "%T" to Copy *"%L" "%T".

Yes but

Nice find in the depths of the Whatsnew.txt, Mjolnir.
That seems to be implying that an asterisk should precede the command. I've read somewhere that that forces the command to RUN AS administrator.
The trouble is, I'm trying to find out how to NOT run as admin. TeraCopy wants an elevated context instrisically; I want to reverse that.
If I'm right about the asterisk, any ideas?

BTW, the button referred to by solid writes the * in, without any further ado.

From TC help:

Code: Select all

Put an asterisk '*' in front of the name to start it with administrative rights.
So, for not starting with administrative rights, just remove the asterisk from the command. I don't know how will that influence teracopy behavior, being the asterisk is requested by the program.

Make usercommand with parameters from teracopy button, and assign that command to F5 button

How do you get TeraCopy to install in the plugins directory?
chmod a+x /bin/laden -- Allows anyone the permission to execute /bin/laden

How do I un-overwrite all my data?

If you want to support unicode filename, you can change %L to %WL
