Use Xplorer2 while copying

Post by simonides »

Xplorer2 functions are not accessible while copying so I can't for example, select a file in one folder, send it to USB stick, navigate to another folder, select a file and sent to USB stick. This sequentiality makes copying very time consuming. Is there any way to do things in parallel?

thanks

the best way to ensure that is to use robust copy (F5 key) instead of drag-drop
for drag-drop, you probably need to use TOOLS > ADVANCED OPTIONS menu and find the property "Ensure shell drag-drop progress dialog is not blocking xplorer2" (it is in the GLOBAL property page)

Yes, "Ensure shell drag-drop progress dialog is not blocking xplorer2" gives me what I want. Is there a reason why that's not the default?

Thanks Nikos!

Simonides.
