Append to existing files - copy option!

Post by *Advissor »

Hello,
Please, add the option of copying the Append to existing files to the copy dialogue box under the More option button.
Don't miss this. Total commander doesnot have such an option as copying the Append to existing files, well... actually it should.

So that not to click the button Append in the copy dialogue several hundred times, I just have to use another file manager WinFrigate frigate3[dot]com, cause the copy option that gives access to appending the files with similar names exists there.

Append to existinf files - It is important, add it to the release of version 7.
Thanks.

Until it will be into TC, make an external command.
copy a_file+b_file a_file


Where b_file is appended to the a_file.

You can append one file to another by specifying the other as the target. You will then get the append option. This doesn't work for multiple files though.

I like the idea, but I'd prefer a separate command 'combine files' (except that we already have that, but it serves a different purpose: to re-combine sections of a file that had previously been split).

Wonderful ideea!
You must rename all files witch must be appended, with 001, 002, 003... and COMBINE files with command from main menu will append all files in filename.out . Great!
I use this before only when I wanted to re-combine large spliced files.

It doesn't mean unnecessary copy option. All old files managers (Norton Commander, Volkov Commander, Dos Navigator, FAR Manager, and so on) has (still have) this possible choice.

Exactly same subroutine, as in re-combine commands, can be use under future 'APPEND' button on copy dialog. I hope.
