Re: [H] Windows 8 Copy function
Duncan, The problem of copying large amount of files has been a problem with Windows since I can remember. So, this is not really a problem with Windows 8.

Re: [H] Windows 8 Copy function
This is true, however, I have been using OPUS explorer replacement since switching to Windows XP, and ever since, I have never had a problem copying anything. In fact, I had completely forgotten that there ever was a Windows copying problem. w At 06:06 AM 7/7/2013, you wrote: Duncan, The problem of copying large amount of files has been a problem with Windows since I can remember.

Re: [H] Windows 8 Copy function
Windows 8.1 does reintroduce the Start Button to show that they are listening to the customer but crucially not the Start Menu. In 8.1 there's an option to boot into the classic desktop with a Start Button. But when you press that button it simply launches the Metro UI. Methinks that's not going to placate the pitchforks.

Re: [H] Windows 8 Copy function
I keep telling people, don't use the right click - move. If it dies, you in a world of hurt trying to figure what got moved. Only use the copy and then delete after the copy is successful. al On Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:57:21 -0400 tmse...@rlrnews.com wrote: Well, points for style, it appears MS has tried to really improve this.

Well, I got burned once, way back when. The two step method just seems like basic sound practice. But yes explorer's file handling has always been buggy. :( On Sat, 6 Jul 2013 07:56:06 -0500 Chris Reeves tmse...@rlrnews.com wrote: Well yes I do that. :). Just referring to copy glitches.

Re: [H] Windows 8 Copy function
Also, when copying a large amount of data it is a good idea to break the copy down into smaller amounts. What I mean by this is the number of files. This was also true in earlier versions of Windows as well. I copy vast amounts of data everyday so it's a little tip there :) On July 6, 2013 at 5:34 AM Al Anger li...@alanger.net wrote: I keep telling people, don't use the right click - move.

Re: [H] Windows 8 Copy function
Is the problem in Windows the number of files or the size of the copy? I regularly move: 30+ GB files with no problem. I also move 10s of files each in the 2GB range, too. On..this is Win8.

Re: [H] Windows 8 Copy function
Anthony, I meant a large amount of files. In some cases we copy over 1 to 2 million files in one recovery for a clients. Usually if the file count gets over 200,000 we copy the data in parts. Multiple copying is where Windows 8 excels at, at times we have 3 to 5 copy processes running at he same time and it runs well with no errors. Regards, On July 6, 2013 at 9:50 AM Anthony Q.
