Configuration dialog
Program - general options concerning the program
o Clipboard monitoring - specifies whether clipboard should be monitored
for new data (if it's enabled then after copying files to clipboard there
should appear window to choose destination folder)
o Scan clipboard every ... [ms] - specify time interval in miliseconds at
which the clipboard will be checked (look above)
o Run program with system - specify whether the program should start
with system or not (enabling it will cause some entries to be added to the
registry)
o Shutdown system after copying finishes - if we are going to copy
something huge, we can turn this on, and after copying finishes the system
will shut down (unless there will be error encountered, or something
strange happens)
o Wait ... [ms] befor shutdown - specifies amount of time for showing
shutdown window with cancel possibility
o Type of shutdown - specifies, if system should be shutdown normally or
by force
o Autosave every ... [ms] - to be able to resume copying after ie. system
restert, data describing what has been copied should be written to disk.
This option specify interval at which it is done.
o Application's priority class - specifies the Copy Handler application
priority class - use it with caution, because with high priorities the
program can cause system to respond very slowly and with the idle copying data can be very slow.
o Folder for temporary data - folder for temporary data (look above)
o Folder with plugins - specifies folder containing plugins for this program
(currently unused)
o Directory with help files - a path to a folder that contains the help files
for this program
o Language - specify language for the program and the shell extension DLL
o Directory with language files - specifies the path to a directory where the
language files are located
Status window - options for the status window
o Refresh status every ... [ms] - interval that specify how often data will be
refreshed in the status window
o Show details in status window - specify, if the right side of status
window should be visible (containing details)
o Automatically remove finished tasks - if copying finishes, some
temporary files remain in memory and on disk, thanks to which you can
see how many time copying occupied, what was the average transfer, or
you have ie. the possibility to restart the task. If we enable this option,
then the temporary files will be almost immediately deleted.
Miniview - options for mini status window
Show file names - specifies if in the miniview file names of files actually
copied should appear or only the progress bars.
o Show single tasks - specifies if the miniview should display all tasks or
only one, common progress.
o Refresh status every ... [ms] - how often miniview should be refreshed
o Show at program startup - if miniview should be shown at program
startup
o Hide when empty - when no tasks are processed it causes miniview to
hide (if later same task will beegin processing - miniview will be
automatically shown)
o Use smooth progress bars - allows user to choose between two styles of
progress bars inside miniview: boxed and smooth
Choose folder dialog - options associated with folder choosing dialog
o Show extended view - specifies if shortcuts' list should be visible when
showing folder dialog.
o Dialog width [pixels] - dialog box width in pixels.

additional system dialogs (ie. Insert disk, Disk ... not available, ...).
Shell - options associated with explorer and shell
o Show 'Copy' command in drag&drop menu - enables Copy command
in drag&drop menu.
o Show 'Move' command in drag&drop menu - enables Move command
in drag&drop menu.
o Show 'Copy/move special' command in drag&drop menu - enables
Copy/move special in drag&drop menu.
o Show 'Paste' command in context menu - enables Paste command in
explorer's context menu.
o Show 'Paste special' command in context menu - enables Paste special
command in explorer's context menu.
o Show 'Copy to' command in context menu - enables Copy to command
in explorer's context menu.
o Show 'Move to' command in context menu - enables Move to command
in explorer's context menu.

associated with Copy to command (and similar) there should be displayed
available free space.
o Show icons with shortcuts (experimental) - specifies, if in the submenus
associated with Copy to command (and similar) there should be displayed
shell icons for shortcuts. Experimental option - drawing doesn't work
properly on some older systems. If you see some strange submenu (when
you select Copy to command or similar one) you should disable this
option.
o
Intercept drag&drop operation by left mouse button (experimental) specifies, if drag&drop operations in explorer (by left mouse button)
should be intercepted by this program. Experimental option - first - it
doesn't work on some systems (especially the older ones). Second - it
causes commands 'Paste' and 'Paste shortcut' (and what goes with it - also
Ctrl+V key combination) from explorer's context menu to be intercepted
too (program treats the second one just as the first one).
o Default action for dragging by left mouse button - specifies action that
will be performed when dragging files/folders in explorers' windows (if
none of the modifying keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) will be pressed).
Autodetection is now in experimental phase - it "predicts" what is the
indicator at mouse cursor - not necessarily correctly.
Copying/moving thread - options for copying/moving
o Auto "copy-rest" of files - specify, if the larger source file should
overwrite the smaller destination, or if the destination files should be filled
up by the source file.
o Set attributes of destination files - should attributes for destination files
be set ?
o Set date/time of destionation files - like above, but date/time
o Protect read-only files - when moving data (at the last phase - deleting
files) it specify, if read-only files should be deleted (if not - we got error).
It also tells if the destination read-only files should be overwritten.
o Limit maximum operations running simultaneously to ... - it allows to
limit maximum count of operations pending at once. When we specify 0 we remove limitation.
o Read tasks size before blocking - if we enable above option, then this
option specify if searching for files (and counting its size) should be done
before (Yes) or after (No) blocking progress of task
o Show visual confirmation dialogs - specify if when copying ie. not
completely copied file there should be displayed a window with question
of overwriting, copying rest, ... .Three grades specify: disabled - the
windows are not shown, Normal - windows are shown only in
indispensable cases, and Heavy (I haven't found better name :) ) causes
asking about everything (almost).
o Use timed confirmation dialogs - if above dialogs should auto-confirm
default option after some time.
o Time of showing confirmation dialogs - specify time for above window.
o Auto resume on error - if there was an error encountered - this option
specify if the task should be resumed after some time.
o Auto resume every ... [ms] - specify interval for above option.
o Default thread priority - specify default priority for copying thread. This
value will be assigned to every new task.
o Disable priority boosting - specifies, if system should boost thread
priority if application works in foreground
o
Don't delete files before copying finishes (moving) - it allows to choose
how files are moved - either they are deleted (all) after copying all, or one
by one (after copying every single file).
o Create .log files - if program should create log files for every task
performed(thanks to it you could report some errors), or look how the
copying was performed, or if there was errors, what errors, ...
Buffer - options connected with buffers
o Use only default buffer - if we enable this option - program will use only
the default buffer size. In other case program will try to find the proper
buffer size by checking the storage medias on which the source and
destination files are stored.
o Default buffer size - specifies the default buffer size. If 'Use only default
buffer' option is turned on - this buffer size will be used for all copyings, if
it's turned on - this buffer serves for copying files, which are not contained
in one of below categories
o Buffer size for copying inside one physical disk boundary - specifies
buffer size for copying data inside one physical disk boundary (when the
source files and the destination folder lies on the same physical hard disk).
o Buffer size for copying between two different disks - specifies buffer
size for copying data between two different physical hard disks.
o Buffer size for copying from CD-ROM - buffer size for copying data
from CD-ROM to any other place
o Buffer size for copying over a network - buffer size used, when copying
data from or to a local network
o Disable buffering for large files - allows to turn off buffering for files
with specified size(below) and greater (copying large files without
buffering in many cases is faster than copying with buffering).
o Minimum file size for which buffering should be disabled - specifies
minimum file size for which buffering should be disabled (according to
my experiments this value on my computer should be about 2MB, but on
another systems it may be other).
Sounds - specify sound options for program
o Playing sounds - should program play sounds for some events ?
