Much thicker 'overall progress' bar

With the new v4, the overall progress bar at the bottom is barely a hair’s width, making it not easy to see. Please can you thicken it up? And the move to a circular progress bar for the per file progress is also not as clear as it used to be. I’ve been using TeraCopy for years, decades? a looooooooong time… And a license holder for 10 years. Over that time, it’s gone through many iterations, many GUIs. I can’t remember what version it was previously, but you did have a very good, very useful, very clear setup, but you moved away from it. The combination of the transfer speed graph and the progress bar was excellent (v3.0?). The new smoothed graph that’s full width, that squeezes more and more transfer data in as it progresses, sure looks cool, but simply doesn’t give us the same indication. Having these for both the file(s), and the overall progress would be very useful. I’d love to get an option to restore that! We need to know if the transfer speed has dropped… We need to know how far through the current file(s) it is… We need to know how far through the complete job it is… We need to be able to stretch out the window to give us more granularity as needed… We need to be able to know all of this, what’s what at a glance… At the moment, it’s not as clear as it could be. Some of us have to move a LOT of files around, and we need to know all the juicy details that your ‘average’ user doesn’t care so much about… They just want it looking pretty. So, could we have a thicker overall progress bar, please? And an option for us that need more/better info at a glance, which shows v3 style progress/graph combos for both, would be very welcome. Loving the new multi-threaded SSD to SSD copies!

Planned

Per Volume or Device (with multiple volumes) Queue(s)

Enable reading or writing by only one (or a selectable number) transfer at a time per device This is especially useful on spinning HDDs or if the overall transfer rate drops due to oversaturation Perhaps a device profiling benchmark or generic profile per device type The ability to create/save manual groups/profiles could be good, especially in a VM since the hardware likely isn’t what it appears

Timestamps aren't completely kept on copy from the first original folders

Any folders copied or at least many I have seen, have a very slight difference in filetime. I will link my post I first made on a different site, then link this post to there so they connect. https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16126 I will post the timestamp difference at least, this only applies to original folders it seems. So if I copy original to somewhere else then copy that copy to somewhere else, both of the copies have the same time. For TL;DR: Original date created: 2023-03-10 06:27:11:1345075 Copied date created : 2023-03-10 06:27:11:1345168 Also does anyone else’s Firefox lag with this website, specifically ideas.codesector.com..Maybe it’s a NoScript thing I have disabled, Idk. It’s a very slight lag only.

Move on Reboot

Hi. Been using the produce for ages and decided I needed to buy the Pro version more to show appreciation for a great tool than anything else. Thanks! There’s a SysInternals tool called movefile which allows you to schedule a move or delete to happen on reboot when folders or files are locked. Might be a useful feature to add if not already in the product.

Being able to select multiples files with mouse click, CTRL and shift

I want to be able to select multiple files in the file list. Right now I can only select one file (or use the predefine Teracopy selection option like All items, Inverse selection, same folder, etc). I want to click on a file and with the use of CONTROL and SHIFT, select other files (like you can do in windows explorer. Thank you.

Teracopy doesn't load checksums stored in ADS

I can see with 3rd party program that teracopy properly stores the file checksum in ADS but when you load the file to teracopy windows it doesn’t load the ADS checksum and I assume it doesn’t check it either first file was loaded then tested you see the checksum at the end and it generated the checksum file If I drag the same file again, back into teracopy window it doesn’t show the checksum I’m assuming it’s a bug; or what am I not getting? does it prioritize the checksum file over ADS?

Copying a file a few mb smaller then 4gb to FAT32 fails with filesize error

software effected: teracopy 3.17. filesystem Ntfs to fat32 filesize shown in this screenshot hello, whenever i copy a file using teracopy from NTFS to fat 32 and the filesize is near 4GB limit of fat 32 teracopy throws a error message these files copy just fine with explorer. they are just under the 4,294,967,295 byte limit of fat 32 (65,535 bytes less then the limit) i have no idea why this happens with tera copy, but its annoying as iwanty to ensure checksums match easily between the backup and the restore

Automatically verify skipped files

An older version of Teracopy used to verify skipped files automatically. Now the application stops, even if Verify is checkmarked, and the user must hit next and then hit verify to have it proceed. So, a job I ran last night barely made progress because it was waiting for me to take those steps. Here’s the use case: Raid 1 disc upgrades to larger disks. All files are already on the larger array and I’m double checking for errors (important files!). For one folder of 1.8TB and over 96K files, Teracopy found 2 errors. For my need, that’s worth the time/effort. Options for a fix: 1. Unattended feature. 2. Command line. 3. Checkmarked verify button applies to skipped files. 4. All of the above.

Sparse files are not properly copied over on teracopy

I have sparse files on my drive, which means that the allocated file size (physical) is smaller than the actual file size (logical). This means that it actually occupies less space on the source drive. When copying over to the destination, the full logical size is allocated on the destination drive instead of only the physical file size. Henceforth, unable to copy over files if the destination drive is nearly full when it should only take up lesser space if only physical file size is allocated.
