PerigeeCopy

PerigeeCopy is a tool that gets integrated into the Windows Explorer shell extension and enables you to perform a bunch of file and folder operations, such as copy, move and delete.

What sets it apart from the system's built-in feature dedicated to this task is represented by enhanced functions, such as auto-skipping items on errors when carrying out bulk jobs, or clearing the read-only bit in copy. It's made for hardcore PC users.

After setup, the app is added to the right-click menu of files and folders, where the default action is set to sending items to the Recycle Bin while asking for confirmation. You can double-click the launcher to access the configuration panel and tinker with actions to perform automatically.

For instance, when encountering same name conflicts, it can always or never overwrite the existing files, overwrite only if newer, create unique names, prompt for action, or postpone the task.

PerigeeCopy can be asked to only copy files and folders with the archive bit set and clear it afterward, overwrite read-only files and clear the read-only bit in copy, as well as to display the upcoming operation so that you can allow or deny it.

Moreover, it can permanently delete objects instead of sending them to Recycle Bin, skip files and directories with errors, run by default on file operations, wait for an existing task to finish before starting another (to favor system resources usage), as well as hide the progress bar during tasks.

We haven't come across any issues in our tests, since the utility didn't freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It had minimal impact on PC performance and carried out file and folder operations swiftly. Thanks to its advanced options, PerigeeCopy should satisfy the preferences of many users. No recent updates have been made, though.
