I wish I had a dollar for each time I test it. :lol:

I came across another oddity while testing ---> A copy of a link
follows the link to the actual file!! So the actual file is copied!!

I'm not sure if that is good or bad. It would be easy to change
by putting an option to the cp command but I don't think
it's worth the trouble.

I put Bert's Dutch translation in the NLS file.

AbdelAziz has given me an improved version of Arabic that I can
put in tomorrow.


Any other tranlations are welcome. Just fill in the pot file if you
don't know how to use momanager. Send back to me.

Thanks to nilsonmorales. I'll make the pet package next week.

For people new to translating, you need to use a recent Puppy distro
like precise or Slacko. Load your devx file . Install the pet package.

Then run 'momanager' which will allow you to choose the script.
It is called 'fast-copy' and it is located in /usr/local/bin/


Click button next to the name of the script and everything should
be simple after that. Send me the mo file that is generated.


If you don't want to go through this procedure you can just fill-in translations in pot file and send the pot file to me and I will make the
mo file.

corrected mistake

#26 Post by don570 »

New version 2.1

- I was concentrating so much on a Thunar version that I didn't
put links in package for Rox

- I made sure it works in Akita Distro

Copy Fast is so useful to me that I'm bumping it to the top so I can find it when I need to recommend it. For some reason, the forum Search won't find "Copy Fast" at all. :?

With older eyes - larger fonts/dpi (see attached)

And if I try to maximise, it just jumps to another screen location

Otherwise nice.

Can you give us an example of what you mean? Copy Fast works perfectly to copy folders that contain hundreds of mp3 files. It uses rsync, the only file handling program I know of that copies the files in strict numerical order (or I suppose alpha-numerical, though my files are never ordered that way).

if you select more than one file in a given directory, or more than one folder, you no longer are given this program as an option on the right click menu.

it does copy a file or a folder no problem. the more i use it, the more convenient it becomes, especially as the locations list gets populated. it's a great program, but i often wish to copy only select items in a given directory, not the whole thing. and there are times when i want to copy more than one directory to another location....

does this feature exist and i just can't figure out how to access it? assuming the folder's not empty, copying a folder is copying many files, true, but i don't normally think of copying a document as copying multiple words or lines of text. sorry for being vague.

:?

(and regardless, thanks for this one as well, don570.)

SFR has already written a program (Multicopypaste) that
copies multiple files in Rox filer. It's probably too complex for me
to put inside copy fast.

I completely forgot about this app (TBH, I'm not using it anymore - drag'n'drop turned out to be faster for me, in the end :wink: ).
i gave it a try, perhaps not enough of one, long enough ago that i don't remember much about it other than i came to the same conclusion as SFR himself regarding it. doesn't mean it's not worth another look, though.

I see the lack of support for multiple file/folder copies as a big limitation for CopyFast. Looking at your code I assume that the limitation to 1 file/folder support was a deliberate choice and that there were reasons for it.

I have no intention to discuss the pros and cons of CopyFast here since I can't use it (installation doesn't work for me) and certainly would have no use for it even if the installation would succeed, but for a fast and easy multicopy solution, whould this be an alternative? With a few additional tweaks one could create a "Copy Fast" subdirectory in the Shift+Rightclick menu (="Open With ..."), containing a list of destination folders. The beauty of this solution would be that almost no code is needed. :wink:

I use SFR's Multicopypaste but there is a limitation too. Files can not be copied to the root of a partition, has to be to a folder (in other words you can't copy to sda1 for example needs to be sda1/downloads or whatever). If that can be sorted, it will work perfectly. I find this application very useful.

/mnt/sda1 is a folder and you can copy to it. If you need to copy to the very bottom of your filesystem ("/") and you need this often (really hard to believe!), you could create a symlink to it and then copy to the symlink:

Code: Select all

ln -s / /HERE
You can't change this limitation of SFR's application without changing the whole application.
