These are not my rules. These are the rules of decency of behavior on forums in general. They are spelled out in many places.

From there, you can handle the entries with the normal file functions.
Here is a button with this command (adapt the Icon path)

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
LOADLIST
%P%N
C:\Tools\Wincmd\WCMICONS48.DLL,31
LoadList from file under cursor

0
-1
Select a .m3u file and hit the button.
hi
can I ask you a question?
why doesn't tc copy the entire folder structure ?
thanks
Here it does it.
If the file list has an entry like
C:\TEMP\Test\
If this list is loaded and copy used on this entry
the full tree is copied to the target dir.
Hi
If the file list has an entry like
C:\TEMP\Test\
what do you mean for entry like? Can you do a simple example?

the playlist without the list of audio files is
If the file list has an entry like like that after removing with notepad++
Of course, the file name.
1. Out In The Street.mp3
Use an Editor which supports the necessary Regex.
For me PSPad or Akelpad work with this
[^\\]*$
and i haven't understood
If he had prepared the list as suggested, there is no need for a plugin.
TC copies the whole folder structure, while copying a folder entry from the list loaded by LOADLIST.
can you exain ?

TC is not trained in this. To copy the structure, you need to use the wcx plugin CopyTree or TreeCopyPlus.
hi Fla$her
do you mean these plugins?
viewtopic.php?t=35053
viewtopic.php?t=5378

and to use them , i have to load the .m3u -> pack -> select copy tree or treecopyplus -> and click ok
but there is no option to skip idendical files

Here, before LOADLIST, it's logical to sort the rows in the editor and delete the repeated ones.

Hi Fla$her
should I edit the playlist to remove the °.mp3 or *.flac with notepad++ ?
or can I keep the playlist non edited with notepad++ ?
Put the cursor on the beginning of your file.
Menu: Search / Replace
Enable Regular expression under Search Mode
Find what: [^\\]*$
Press Replace All
Press Close
Save your file
Done


Keeping the original playlist , tc does not copy cover.jpg

Could be possibile after loading the playlist using the Synchronize folder and set cover.jpg?
because after loading the playlist when i try Synchronize folder tc gives me this error

Code: Select all

Error - Synchronize only supports the following combinations:
directory<->directory
directory<->zip archive
directory<->ftp server
zip archive<->zip archive (compare only)

TreeCopyPlus looks to do the job !

True, because the list uploaded to the panel does not concern a specific directory.

There shouldn't be any problems with CopyTree either, if you set a large nesting depth.
It's worth noting that LOADLIST removes duplicates by itself.

Hi Fla$her
CopyTree does give me problems during the copy ,i don't know why
TreeCopyPlus sadly doesn't copy datestamp
are the only 2 extension/plugins that can copy all the folder structure? or there are other tc extensions?

by the way even fastcopy or other utilities can't do it

TreeCopy, but it's very outdated.

But this plugin doesn't copy anything, but simply creates lists. 🤷‍♂️

If we are talking about selecting files after LOADLIST, then there is a problem — the plugin cuts off the drive name, i.e. files C:\file.ext and E:\file.ext will end up in the same directory.
There is no such problem with CopyTree, it creates folders with a drive letter.
