Add information to Help-File operation

Post by *oko »

I suggest to add information to TC Help-File operation:

FUNCTION "DELAYED ERROR MESSAGES"

This function delays error messages (confirmations dialogs) to the start or end of transfer process (copy/move).
The function is useful for all users but mainly those who transfer much files and want to go away during process.

During transfer (copy/move) there can be shown error messages that pauses transfer process and wait for user answer. E.g.:
a/ overwrite (file exists in target)
b/ delete readonly
c/ delete hiden/system,
d/ if over 259 char names exist,
e/ not readable or access denied source files,
f/ readonly or not writable or full target

The function put this error message to the start or end to prevent pause process somewhere in the middle.
Note: Sometimes messages may not be shown in the start, because showing does not depend on if error exists but it depends on file order to be processed. If conflicts does not meet transfer process till some seconds at the start (default 5 seconds), the error messages will be shown at the end.

The function works for:
- foreground and background copy/move (F5-Enter, F6-Enter).

The function does NOT works for:
- backround transfer manager copy/move (F5-F2 queue, F6-F2 queue),
- delete files,
- in syncdir transfers

The function can be switched on or off in wincmd.ini (see SkippedFileCopy). The start delay time is configurable as well.

You can set which questions will be shown by these settings:
a/ in tc settings Configuration-Options-Misc.-Confirmations (in effect always)
b/ in F5/F6 dialog-advanced options (in effect for actual copy/move process)
c/ in wincmd.ini: see LongNameCopy (in effect always)

Unattemted transfer operation can be set (ini settings) like this:
[Cofiguration]
LongNameCopy=1
SkippedFileCopy=1 (or >=100)
CopyDirsAsAdmin=2

[Confirmation]
deleteDirs=0
MouseActions=0
OverwriteFiles=0
OverwriteHidSys=0
OverwriteReadonly=0
OverwriteHidSysNotReadonly=0
SyncConfirmOverwrite=0
