Altap Salamander Support Forums

Tested it: same behavior in RC1. Here's what happens when I copy/move just a few files: (1) I hit ENTER. (2) The operation window is displayed for the fraction of a second (since there is so little data to be copied/moved). (3) The files are still on the source side. It takes another 1-2 s before th...

Thanks for your quick reply, Jan!


I don't think I encounterd this problem with Servant Salamander 2.5 RC1.

All operations are executed on a hard disk.

Shift+Delete is also sometimes delayed.

I use Win XP Pro SP 2.

Installed IE 7 some weeks ago.

Dear Forum, recently I've noticed that move and copy operations are delayed. Even if I just want to copy or move a single small file it sometimes takes 1-2 seconds before the process starts. Have I activated some obscure option that triggers this delay? How can I get back to fast and direct move an ...

Thanks for your help, Mem and manison!

Thanks for your reply, Mem! I mainly need this function to join audio book files. I don't want single 10 minute bits but rather 60-70 minute files. So far I've used the software "A.F.7 Merge your files". I was just wondering whether SS offered an integrated solution. This way I could get r...

Is SS able to merge several files into one?
In my case, I want to join several mp3-files (e.g. 1.mp3 + 2.mp3 + 3.mp3 = all.mp3).

Does anyone have an idea?
Many thanks in advance!
Tim

Mind-boggling!

....and I really thought I knew this program.
....and I really thought I was productive.
....and I really thought I was effective.

You live and you learn.
Thanks, guys!

Wow. Neue Perspektiven eröffnen sich!

Thanks very much for that incredible hint.
How come I've ignored the Renamer Plug-In for so long ... ?

@ jis

I use zero byte files for mirroring/managing FTP directory structures.

@ KNUT: I prefer to look at exactly the same position when changing a file name. The Quick Rename window opens at a different position. Frequent eye movement is tiresome when renaming lots of files (in a process that is too complex to be automated). Furthermore, when renaming in the actual line I ca...

Sorry, my mistake.
Unchecked the Directory option after I had done the search.
Repeated the process in the correct order.
Now everything's just perfect.
Many THX!

Thanks for your reply, Jan.
Followed your instructions.
There's still a file called zero.txt in every directory.
But this is no problem as I can delete all the zero.txt files using the search function.
The main issue is solved for me.

Thanks again!

Dear Jan, Thank you very much indeed. Děkuju! What a quick and professional support. Amazing. Works like a charm! (If you find the time.... Could you explain what actually happens? So far it seems like magic. I assume that every file is overwritten with the contents of the file zero.txt. Correct? Is...

Thanks for all replies, fellow SS Users!

So there seems to be no solution yet....
Dear SS Team: Could you please implement a shortcut for this?

Thanks a bundle!

This is what I'd like to do:
- Copy files or a directory structure with files.
- The target files should all be zero byte files.
- Target directory structure and target file names should be identical.

Is this possible?
Is there a mask for this?

Thanks for any help in advance!
