FastCopy 5.11.0 has been released, offering users a lightweight and efficient file management tool for copying and deleting files. This software supports Unicode and can handle files with long pathnames (up to 260 bytes). Additionally, a portable version is available for easy use on various devices.
The software optimizes performance based on the location of the source and destination files. When copying files between different hard drives (Diff HDD), FastCopy utilizes multi-threading to read and write data simultaneously, enhancing speed. Conversely, when both source and destination are on the same hard drive (Same HDD), it employs a large buffer to read data until full and then writes it in bulk. This method minimizes the use of the operating system's cache, ensuring that other applications remain unaffected and maintaining high read/write performance close to the device's capabilities.
FastCopy also includes features for specifying include/exclude filters using UNIX wildcard syntax, allowing for customized file selection. The application is built using the Win32 API rather than MFC, contributing to its smooth operation.
In addition to its core functionalities, users may find related topics useful, such as methods for protecting files and folders from deletion and techniques for copying file or folder paths to the clipboard.
Overall, FastCopy 5.11.0 stands out as a powerful tool for users needing efficient file management and transfer capabilities, making it ideal for both casual users and professionals dealing with large volumes of data. Future updates may include enhancements in user interface design, additional file format support, or integration with cloud services for even greater versatility
