SmartCopyTool Reviews

The tool performs wonderfully, yet there are a couple of issues with options in the file menu: "Remove Selection From File" "Expand Selected Folders" These are currently non-functional. Additionally, if an "Invert Selection" feature could be implemented, it would be a highly appreciated enhancement.

Great app, easy to use and powerful.

Thank you very much for the free open source program!

I don't leave reviews very often, but this little tool is EXACTLY what I've been looking for, and will save me a whole world of trouble. I have 20-odd TB of media files spread across 6 HDDs in a NAS, using UnionFilesystem to optimise the storage, so the contents of each folder can be saved over multiple HDDs. One of the HDDs is starting to show some errors, so before it gets to a critical stage I want to copy only those files stored on that specific drive to a new drive. The drives are mounted as one single drive, so pulling 4TB of selected files from a deep-structure of thousands of folders is an impossible task to do manually. I've been searching for the solution for a little while now, and now I have it with this tool. I can simply run a filelist command on that specific HDD only, which outputs every single filename, including the path. A 5 minute edit of the list in a text editor and I can then import it to SmartCopyTool using the 'Restore Selection from File' and selectively copy only those files, preserving their folder structure to the new drive. Thank you to the author, your hard work is very much appreciated!

I stumbled on this after trying to find a windows equivalent to the MacOS SuperDuper! backup app. (I live in both Mac and Windows worlds). This works great! The UI is not as intuitive/simple as SuperDuper! but once I figured out the steps (all documented) that I needed to do for my specific back-up process, I put them in a TXT file for reference to mimic the "smart copy/replace" (as SuperDuper! calls it). Seriously, for me this is simple, quick, easy! and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, Simon, for building this tool that you never expected to write yourself.

The program is good, but it is not practical. It could have templantes of "All videos", "All images", "All documents", etc. Writing extensions one by one is not comfortable. File Fisher software has boxes of selections, but unfortunately it is out of date. I downloaded SmartCopy Tool to try an alternative.

Saved my day! After trying half a dozen purportedly advanced file manager programs, none had the specific functionality that this has, namely copying a filtered folder structure --> with the folder structure intact <--. Very well done!

This program is really my SAVIOR, from now on I will never have to create/copy each folder/file when I want to copy a portion of my textbook collection to tablet. This save me a lot of time, and it came with many awesome features like including hidden files or not, rescan the dir, auto-overwrite ... and 1 amazing option: save all selection to a backup file so I can quickly repeat the task in the future. So fantastic !!! Many thanks for the creator :)
