Make CTRL + X / V keyboard shortcut use FC instead of Windows' manager [SOLVED]

[Forez]

Can you please copy and paste what follows after each of your EXE file?

[horst.epp]

Copy parameters
Copy *"%ActivSelAsFileUtf8%" "%InactivDir%"

Move parameters
Move *"%ActivSelAsFileUtf8%" "%InactivDir%"

[Forez]

I have now such Settings



and yet still when I execute CTRL+C and then CTRL+V on an item its coping and pasting is handled by the Windows Explorer feature



I am using Build 891 64-bit Donor Portable and Build 880 32-bit Public Installed on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64

To have TeraCopy for the Explorer like copy/cut/paste functions and drag and drop
you must register the TeraCopy Copy handler.
You may also make it the default system-wide copy handler.

I had the same settings and it did not work

But after selecting

TeraCopy > Preferences > Shell integration > Use TeraCopy as default copy handler

it works now almost OK. Because I have no issue with files being handled with keyboard shortcuts in all possible ways - but if I CTRL+C on a folder and then CTRL+V in the same location then I do get its copy, but TeraCopy produces a window informing me [in Log] about 1 verification error for every copied folder [despite actually creating perfect copies and with their contents]. And thus I am forced to manually close window with useless information

But that is something I should pick up with TeraCopy developers, as it also happens in Windows Explorer?

These problems don't occur here using TeraCopy version 3.9.7
It creates the duplicate entries adding Copy, Copy (2) and so on.

For me the same error happens also in Build 891 32-bit Donor installed. Uninstalling and installing once more TeraCopy 3.9.7 also did not helo


Could you please select

TeraCopy > Preferences > Misc > Always test after copy

and the execute on some folder CTRL+C and the CTRL+V to see if you get an error or not?

Yes, with these settings it produces verification errors.

So what does this tell us? That the culprit is TeraCopy?

It looks like this.
Nevertheless, I'll not enable the verify option.
The copies are always ok.
I use TeraCopy seldom,
more often FastCopy, as it is able to copy symlinks unchanged.
Both are configured as buttons in Total Commander and Free Commander.
For normal file operations, I always use the native functions of any file manager.

I reported this bug using the https://help.codesector.com/helpdesk/3/tickets/new yesterday - and today it is already fixed with release of version 3.10 available through https://codesector.com/files/teracopy.exe

So case closed

Confirm the fix with version 3.10.

I can simply add screenshots by drag and drop them into the posting
and it's shown below like this
