FastCopy version 5.9.0 has been released, introducing enhancements to its capabilities as a lightweight file management tool for copying and deleting files. This software supports Unicode and handles files with MAX_PATH (260-byte) pathnames, making it versatile for various file operations. A portable version is also available, allowing users to run it without installation.
FastCopy optimizes performance based on the source and destination drives. If both are on different physical HDDs, it employs multi-threading for reading and writing processes to enhance speed. Conversely, if both operations are conducted on the same HDD, it utilizes a large buffer to read data until the buffer is full, then writes it all at once. This method avoids using the operating system's cache, ensuring that other applications run smoothly without interference. The read/write performance is designed to approach the device's limits, maximizing efficiency.
Additionally, FastCopy allows users to specify include/exclude filters using UNIX wildcard syntax, providing flexibility in file management. The software is built from the Win32 API, which contributes to its efficient operation without relying on Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC).
In summary, FastCopy 5.9.0 enhances file management by offering quick and efficient copying and deleting functionalities, particularly suited for users dealing with large files and specific path constraints. Its advanced performance features and user-friendly design make it a valuable tool for anyone needing to manage files effectively.
Future updates could include enhanced user interfaces for better accessibility, improved error handling mechanisms, and expanded support for cloud storage solutions, further solidifying FastCopy's position as a go-to file management software
