I use a program called TeraCopy to copy and move files around and especially for mass file moves from one network drive to another. I decided to add it to the FreeCommanders optional File/folder operations for both copy and move (Tools / Options / File/folder operations).
TeraCopy accepts parameters and after a little experimenting what I'd come up with was the following and is what I entered into the File/folder operations General tab.
O:\Portable\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe Copy %ActivSel% %InactivDir% /OverwriteAll - for copying.
O:\Portable\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe Move %ActivSel% %InactivDir% /OverwriteAll - for moving.
It works fine if the target folder (%InactivDir%) does not contain any spaces in any part of the path. If the path does contain a space then an error stating that the file path is not valid pops-up. I've experimented but nothing I've tried works.
I'm not sure if it's a problem with the system variable or how the parameter is passed. If someone has a suggestion about how to get this to work I'd appreciate it.
Thanks - Bill
