New in NiceCopier 11.11.20 (Dec 21, 2011)

  • The installer didn't set the startup path in registry correctly.
  • The default install path on 64bit was wrong.
  • NiceCopier always showed that the task was successfully copied, even when canceled

New in NiceCopier 11.10.17 (Oct 18, 2011)

  • Fixed:
  • The windows scheduler( starts NiceCopier as admin ) set NiceCopier to a lower memory priority, which led NiceCopier to be paged out to disk. So if NiceCopier weren't used during some time a new copy would take some time to start. So you will need to set "Run NiceCopier on startup" on Setup to fix this. Or unset "Run NiceCopier on startup" in settings, apply it, and check it again, apply.
  • the recent task list was still fixed to a maximum of
  • the file count was sometimes wrong when some files where ignored.
  • set NiceCopier directory security to "full access" for "Everyone", so NiceCopier won't have problems running as non-admin.
