Hello, I have been using your tool for quite some time and it has proven very helpful for me. I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and found that the tool no longer works for me. I was wondering if Windows 10 is supported? Thank you.
Hi Carlos, I've been using it with Windows 10 for a few years now and never had any problems - seems exactly the same as it did on Windows 7.
Does it fail to launch, or is it unable to copy anything?
It might be something to do with permissions either way, maybe try right-click and run as administrator?
Hi Simon, thanks for the response. I tried running it as admin, it's one of the first troubleshooting steps I took but it didn't help.
So what is happneing is that it takes a really long time to scan the specified directory initially, much longer than normal. Then it is unable to copy, it freezes (not responding).
I can see that it shows the wrong number of folders and file size at the bottom after selecting all folders/files. For example, I selected a few gigs worth of files, and it shows "106.5 KB in 8 files".
Hmmm, not sure what could cause that.
I just downloaded the current version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/smartcopytool/files/ to make sure it was sound (it seems to be). It scanned a directory on an internal drive containing a terabyte of movies in < 1 second, I selected a random 10GB worth and copied them to a temp directory on an external drive in 3-4 minutes. Everything I selected copied across correctly.
Are your source and destination drives internal or external? Which file system are they formatted with?
It shouldn't really matter since SmartCopy just uses OS calls to do the copy operations, but I'm stumped as to what else might affect it!
