Since he is the only one doing development support, he can’t seem to get around to providing multi-language support. The author seems to feel the same way, and has moved only “Issues” to the GitHub repository. Since the user base is not limited to Japan, and the number of foreign users is increasing, I feel that at least English support should be enhanced. Since the Fast Copy program is the work of a Japanese individual, the support (documentation, etc.) in other languages is poor. The program supports advanced features, such as wiping disk space after operations, changing advanced parameters such as the buffer size, enabling Shell Extension functionality to access the program from the right-click menu or via drag & drop, and for your sincere reply.įor a foreigner, it’s hard to have documents (FAQ, etc.) that are mainly in Japanese. With FastCopy, you get the additional benefit of verifications, which provides you with proof that the copied files are not corrupt.
File Explorer transfers will take longer to complete and they may be more taxing to the system. It is especially useful when you are copying large amounts of data, as File Explorer is not suited for these operations. Versions 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 address issues in FastCopy 4 and 4.0.1 respectively.įastCopy is an easy to use program. The remaining changes fix issues in the application. Added deleted before copying option in synchronous mode.Added option to record hash values without verifying.Reduced processor usage when using SHA-256 (about 2/3 less than before).Otherwise, FastCopy should please all users. Too bad its interface is not visually appealing.
It carries out a task very quickly and doesn't cause the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Furthermore, the app provides logging details in the main frame.įastCopy is very light on the system resources, using very low CPU and RAM. You can also ask FastCopy to verify data integrity on task completion, among other options. It is possible to copy or move items and overwrite existing ones, synchronize data by time and date, or copy only files with a different size or date. You can point out the source and output directory using either the folder view or drag-and-drop support.
The interface is made from a regular window that's not attractive but easy to work with. It is also possible to move FastCopy to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to use it on any computer with minimum effort.Īn important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get new entries, and files are not left behind on the hard drive after program removal. Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can just drop the executable file somewhere on the hard disk and click it to run. This is the portable edition of FastCopy - a lightweight utility that enables you to copy files and folders while focusing on speed.
