Verification error when copying/moving files

Re: Verification error when copying/moving files
If the error occurs more frequently or occurs every time I copy/move files, the error message appears immediately for smaller files (<100 MB). Has the wait time with 5 repetitions already been implemented, or will this be changed in one of the next TC versions?

Yes it has! Do you get the error immediately after reaching 100% copied?

if the error occures, it fells like the error message is triggered immediately. There seems no waiting time and never ever 5x 1 sec.

Re: Verification error when copying/moving files
The verify function only retries when opening the target file fails, e.g. because it's still blocked by something. It doesn't retry when reading in the middle of the file fails, e.g. when only a section of the file is locked. This is usually only done by databases, not by virus scanners. Maybe your copied file does actually change while Total Commander is copying it?
Unfortunately since I cannot find a solution here, I have to move this thread to will not be changed.
