Option to toggle timestamp copying on and off. Disable copy/move confirmation dialog.

Post by *m.fessler »

Hello everyone,

It would be great, if it would be possible to simple toggle on/off the copy of the folder and file timestamps instead of having to set it via the settings and the ini file.
Maybe via an option in the menu or even in the copy dialog itself?

Speaking of the copy dialog:
Can it be suppressed somehow when copying/moving using F5/F6 or via drag and drop?

Thanks and greetings,
Martin

I doubt that Ghisler will implement this.

As a workaround you can use this button to set the timestamps to the current time for selected files/folders:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
OPENATTRIBUTES= +f+c

wcmicons.dll,7
Set timestamp for selected files and folders (inclucing content) to current time.
To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

In general:

I wouldn't mind seeing more options become available in the copy/move dialogs incl this timestamp feature (there is a checkbox in the FTP dialog as you may recall) as well as copy comments which I've suggested.

or via drag and drop?
Configuration --> Options... --> Misc. --> Get confirmation before --> Drag&Drop (copying files with mouse)
