Version 1.9

During a folder copy I now show a list of files that have been copied.

Because rsync -a is used for a folder copy, updating a folder is
done efficiently i.e. only a newly created file is copied to new location.

The window will explain which files are copied.

Also fixed a bug where a file was copied twice. Embarassed

I haven't tried 1.9 yet but I tried both 1.6 and 1.8. When I installed the 1.6 .pet in Slacko, it said there would be an entry under Utilities, but there wasn't, or at least I couldn't find it. Slacko's Menu design is not to my liking. 1.8 said there'd be an entry under Desktop, but again I couldn't find one.
However, both 1.6 and 1.8 did seem to work perfectly when I right-clicked on an author directory and chose "Copy to" my mp3 player. Note that this copies a book subdirectory within the author directory. So far, the files in the books I copied are playing in the correct order. I did not find a log in /tmp after the copying was done in 1.8, but I don't really need one as long as I'm confident that the copy is going right.

Nice tool!

Thank you Don.

Here's the Dutch translation file.

I made the Arab mo file and posted in first post.

It's missing a couple of translations because it's using copy-fast 1.6 pot
and I made a few improvements in version 1.9

I noticed that rsync -a is slow in doing folder copies, but the benefits
outweigh the slowness, so I'll keep it.

I suspect rsync's speed is limited by the writing speed of the target drive, but I only have flash drives to go by. Have you tried using it to copy a folder to a fast-write media such as a hard disk?

new NLS support

Now there is support for Arab Dutch and French languages

Just install copy-fast_NLS-2.1.pet for language support.

Thanks to nilsonmorales. I'll make the pet package next week.

For people new to translating, you need to use a recent Puppy distro
like precise or Slacko. Load your devx file . Install the pet package.

Then run 'momanager' which will allow you to choose the script.
It is called 'fast-copy' and it is located in /usr/local/bin/

Click button next to the name of the script and everything should
be simple after that. Send me the mo file that is generated.

If you don't want to go through this procedure you can just fill-in translations in pot file and send the pot file to me and I will make the
mo file.

New version 2.1

- I was concentrating so much on a Thunar version that I didn't
put links in package for Rox

- I made sure it works in Akita Distro

Copy Fast is so useful to me that I'm bumping it to the top so I can find it when I need to recommend it. For some reason, the forum Search won't find "Copy Fast" at all. Confused
