Start Copy, Paste, Delete in new Process (arrange the files in explorer view)!
Start Copy Paste in new Process in The Quad-Directory File Explorer in each file list view solution for Windows 11, 10, ... Desktop-PCs or MS Server OS!!
Important! if File Operations is set to New Process the internal Drag & Drop in the same View is not possible!
For example: because it has a very convenient ability to drag and drop files in one window. Most often this is necessary for comparing of pictures (arrange the files)!
Maybe at this setting, it doesn't work either in newer WinPE builds that Q-Dir does not support drag and drop and copy/paste operations.
3.) Why so much effort to start the file operations in a new file explorer process?
There are several reasons why it may make sense to start file operations in a new File Explorer process. Here are some of the reasons:
Crash prevention:
When file operations are performed in a separate process, they are isolated from other applications and the main operating system. This reduces the chances of a problem in a file operation crashing the entire File Explorer or operating system.
Better resource utilization:
A separate process for file operations enables more efficient use of system resources. When file operations are performed in a main process, it can affect the overall performance of the system, especially if they are complex or resource-intensive operations.
User friendliness:
Starting file operations in a separate window or process can give the user clear feedback about the progress of the operations. This can improve usability as the user can easily track the status of file operations.
Error handling:
A separate process can better catch and handle errors in file operations. If a file operation fails in its own process, it may have less impact on the main process and other running tasks.
Multiple simultaneous operations:
Opening file operations in separate processes allows the user to perform multiple simultaneous operations without having to wait for a single operation to complete. This improves overall efficiency and flexibility.
Overall, performing file operations in a separate process helps improve the stability and efficiency of File Explorer and the entire system. This approach also contributes to a better user experience as the user remains in control of their file operations while being able to perform multiple tasks at the same time.
The solution is simple to show folder total size in the File-Explorer Status-Bar of the Quad-Explorer Q-Dir on all MS Windows OS You can see File Information
The solution is simple to Open in new process via right-click menu, menu item is not removed in Quad-File-Explorer for all MS Windows Desktop and Server
The option Soft-Refresh to prevent listing or re-sorting of the list view, eg with Drop, Paste, Refresh If this option is enabled in the file manager Q-Dir
I noticed that QDIR is remaining active after I click the X. When I right click the icon I get the message "Progress Dialogue is running. QDIR is in waiting status. If you want to prevent this, click Cancel." Any ideas?
While Q-Dir is deleting files I cannot use Q-Dir. Can I submit a feature request for this? This has most impact when deleting a large folder. Workaround is to navigate to what you want to delete using Windows explorer and delete it. While it is being deleted from there you can still use Q-Dir no problem.?
When selecting one or more files, pressing Shift-Delete is acting the same as pressing Delete. Shift-Delete must delete files without sending them to the recycling bin but it only gives a prompt to send the file(s) to the recycling bin.
From one hard drive to other and also between different pcs.?
I really enjoy using this software. I login locally to the PC and run this software as runas domain account to access my domain pcs. One problem that I see often is that when I am on one computer (\\PC\C$) doing something copying files or something sometimes the entire Program freezes I am unable to do other things. I like to request a new feature that offers. Separate Process per window/box so that each box uses a sperate process to speed things up. Thank you so much for this wonderful program it has helped me soo much in transferring files
I can not arrange the files freely with Q-Dir. Auto-arrange is disabled but when I try to move a file to another place, I receive an error like "...source & destination are same..." I'm not trying to drag&drop (move) to another folder, I just want to arrange file icons in that same folder! Note: I have other "disabling auto-arrange" stuff (reg. keys or software) on both PC's but I believe I'm missing a setting, etc!
