Is there a linux alternative to Terracopy ?
im using 5.2 and not having the progress bar and kb/s is frustratring.
and setting up a copy queue / resume on fail would be nice to.
Thanks for all help
TerraCopy
Not sure if this is what you are after but Midnight Commander has a progress/speed bar when copying/moving files.

i was thinking of a small app. not a filemanager anyways MC looks to mutch like the NC i used back in the day. I think of puppy 5.2 as a modern system and i dont want mixed feelings. thats what i get from MC PCmanFM looks good. if this has a copy option and we can make it default filemanager i would have chosen that option.stu90 wrote:Not sure if this is what you are after but Midnight Commander has a progress/speed bar when copying/moving files.

can anyone look at these two programs ?
http://alternativeto.net/software/terac ... form=linux
they are called ultracopier and minicopier
Hello einar
All you need to do is download MiniCopier-0.5.tar
and unpack it somewhere, you will get a directory called MiniCopier-0.5
Inside of that directory is a file called: MiniCopier.sh, simply click on that and the application will start.

That second one is simple enough to run. so long as you have the Java Runtime Environment (5.0 minimum) installed.einar wrote:can anyone look at these two programs ?

A java GUI is gonna really slow down the rate of copying -even the progressbar in modern ROX-filer adds loads of CPU cycles. When I'm gonna copy something big, I oen a terminal and use cp to makes things faster. Being able to pause and resume a copy is nice -you could probably achieve the same result with wget. I've coded gauges and progress bars using Xdialog before, but even there you really waste a lot cycles checking the sizes of files, converting that to percentages, etc. The lighteste alternative is to not calculate sizes at all and just show a back-and-forth cursor or changing icons which indicate activity. Sorry, I just hate java more than nearly anything else...

what do you mean with "even the progressbar in modern ROX-filer adds loads of CPU cycles." is there a progress bar in rox filer ? and what do you mean by modern. Im using Lucid 5.2. does that have a old rox filer ?
thanks for help

I haven't tried this myself or compiled it either, but have you looked at 'Ultracopier' ?
