FastCopy version 5.11.2 has been released. This software is designed for efficient file management, specifically focused on quickly copying and deleting files, including those with Unicode characters and long file paths (MAX_PATH, 260 bytes). A portable version allows users to run it without installation.
FastCopy intelligently determines whether the source and destination drives are on the same physical hard disk or different ones. If they are on different drives, it employs multi-threading for reading and writing operations, enhancing performance. When both source and destination are on the same drive, it optimizes the process by using a large buffer to read data until full, then writing it in bulk. This approach minimizes the impact on system resources since it bypasses the operating system's cache, allowing other applications to run smoothly without being affected.
The software also features an Include/Exclude filter that utilizes UNIX Wildcard syntax for flexible file selection. Its performance is optimized as it is built solely on the Win32 API without relying on MFC, which contributes to its lightweight nature.
For users interested in file security, there are resources available on how to protect files and folders from deletion, as well as instructions on copying file or folder paths to the clipboard.
In summary, FastCopy 5.11.2 is an efficient, user-friendly tool for file management that enhances copying and deleting operations while maintaining system performance. Its portability and advanced features make it a valuable utility for users who work with large files or require quick file transfers
