- Fix overwriting files when they shouldn't be when "Don't waste time adding up..." option is checked
- Fix Alt+drag/Ctrl+Shift+drag/Right-click+"Paste shortcut" copying files instead of creating shortcuts when "Use PerigeeCopy by default..." option is checked
- Fix spurious prompts when overwrite mode is "Postpone"
- Fail gracefully if the user tries to move or copy a folder into one of its descendants
- When a job is paused at a prompt, allow another waiting job to run when "Wait for previous job to finish..." option is checked
- Use paused/error/indeterminate progress bar states on supporting operating systems
- Put a progress bar in the taskbar button on Windows 7
New in PerigeeCopy 1.5 (Nov 20, 2010)
- Don't "overwrite" a file with nothing if the source file is deleted after a move job is started
- Remember the state of the "Apply to all" checkbox on the overwrite dialog
- Add "Postpone" overwrite option
- Limit update rate to reduce CPU utilization during copy jobs
- Adjust progress correctly when a file is removed from a job (by choosing not to overwrite)
- Add option to wait for a previous copy job to finish before starting another
New in PerigeeCopy 1.4 (Nov 20, 2010)
- Added an option to rename instead of overwrite when copying
- Included files missing from the source code
New in PerigeeCopy 1.3 (Nov 20, 2010)
- Added support for Windows Vista
- Added support for x64 operating systems
- Removed support for Windows 9x/Me
- Fixed bug wherein folders you don't have permission to enumerate are silently skipped
- No longer attempt to follow reparse points when deleting or moving files
New in PerigeeCopy 1.2 (Nov 20, 2010)
- Added estimated time remaining to copy progress dialog.
New in PerigeeCopy 1.1 (Nov 20, 2010)
- Progress dialogs now have minimize buttons.
- PerigeeCopy now shows progress information in the title bar and taskbar.
- Fixed copying a folder onto itself. Now if you highlight SomeFolder and press Ctrl+C Ctrl+V, its contents will be copied to SomeFolder[1], instead of copying SomeFolder\SomeFile to SomeFolder\SomeFile[1], etc.
New in PerigeeCopy 1.0 (Nov 20, 2010)
- PerigeeCopy will now append a numeric suffix to a file name instead of trying (and failing) to copy it onto itself.
- PerigeeCopy can now overwrite files in a move operation.
New in PerigeeCopy 1.0 Beta 4 (Nov 20, 2010)
- Consistent with Explorer, Shift+drag moves files and Ctrl+drag copies files.
- Copying functionality has been pulled out of the shell extension DLL and moved into a separate executable; now copy jobs don't tie up the destination Explorer window.
- If you hold Shift while selecting "PerigeeDelete" from the context menu, the files will be deleted regardless of the "Use recycle bin" setting.
- "Show what I'm about to do" option has been added to the configuration dialog.
- Fixed Windows XP Visual Style support. (Green checkboxes and progress bars!)
- The "Configure PerigeeCopy" option has been moved to the Start Menu so that it no longer clutters Explorer context menus.
New in PerigeeCopy 1.0 Beta 3 (Nov 20, 2010)
- My Network Places shortcuts now work properly as a copy/move destination (i.e., the data gets copied to the network share, not the mount point).
- PerigeeCopy can now use the recycle bin to delete files. This option is enabled by default.
New in PerigeeCopy 1.0 Beta 2 (Nov 20, 2010)
- PerigeeDelete can now delete read-only folders.
- Wrap text in skipped files dialog.
- Files inside folders that failed to be deleted no longer get duplicated in the skipped files dialog every time you retry.
- Discover with mild surprise that the "Use PerigeeCopy by default when dragging" option also causes Windows to invoke PerigeeCopy when Ctrl+V is pressed to paste files. However, if the source and destination drives are the same, it would move the files, even if you pressed Ctrl+C or selected "Copy". This has been fixed.
- Discover that CopyFileEx is not implemented on Win9x/Me. Whoops. (Microsoft's documentation is contradictory on this point.) This means beta1 is completely unable to copy files on these operating systems. Win9x/Me do support the CopyFile API, but this doesn't provide status or allow cancelling the operation. So I implemented my own copy routine for use on Win9x/Me in beta2. I still use CopyFileEx on Win2k/XP, however, since it takes care of file permissions, data streams, etc.
- Use Tahoma instead of MS Sans Serif in dialogs, so Unicode characters can be displayed correctly.
