renaming or moving sometimes works only at 2nd try
hi there
i have a problem:
sometimes when i want to move a file to another folder on the same partition, instead of moving the file, TC copies it, but if i try it again, it works (it doesn't matter, if the operation is invoked with F6 or with the mouse+SHIFT)
the same situation with renaming files (bound to F2):
at first, it says: Error: Cannot read <filename> but the second try works fine
i *think* the problem occured only with files, which have the size of a CD or are bigger than that
and if i remember this right, the problem didn't show up in the previous version 6.52, but i didn't try to downgrade
i just tried it with a new wincmd.ini, still the same problem
TC 6.53
WatchDir=11 but i tried it with WatchDir switched off, too.
many plugins (which were installed some months ago)
WinMCE2005(=XP) SP2
any ideas?

Hello !
- Not sure, but you could try to disable the free-space checking to copy so big files, in <wincmd.ini> add or change :

Maybe this could help…[Configuration]
SizeCheck=0
* 1 : Check if there is enough disk space on target before copying

the file isn't locked and the filetype and size doesn't matter eitherfrenky wrote:I have a same behavior sometimes.
Maybe TC is checking first if file is locked that copy is performed instead of move?
I guess rename fails also due to the file locking by some 3. process? AV?
Edit
To be clear, I doubt this is a bug in TC
i just tried it with windows explorer (uuhhhh ) and the problem seems to be there too...
disableing the anti-virus scanner doesn't change anything
any other ideas? (even if it's not a bug in TC...)

Try unlocker with a big file WHILE the file is being copied. It seems that the file gets locked just when the copying starts.

Well, it could be
- that the loading of the file icon takes a very long time, or
- a virus scanner running in the context of TC scanning the file

The last thing I can recommend is that you run filemon from www.sysinternals.com to find out whether any other process or driver is accessing the file when you get this error.

Almost the same problems.
1. Sometimes renaming silently fails: I press F2, rename the file, press Enter, but the filename is left the same w/o any message.
2. Sometimes TC fails to detect if the source and destination volumes are the same and launches a regular Copy+Delete operation. For example, if I move file from E: volume to a junction point that leads to the same volume (D:\Video --> E:\Video) TC launches a Copy+Delete, not Move operation.
