Copy directly without scanning?

Post by kaheem »

Hi

Is it possible to copy files and folders without going through the scanning procedure? Sometimes scanning network files/folders take a long time and why waste time with scanning if I am sure I have enough space already?

thanks

Not sure if I got you right, but perhaps you mean Options -> Interface settings -> Show total copy progress indicator.

Hi

I am talking about when Far has to scan the files to copy first, so if you have 1 million files with folders Far will scan them first before copying them to the target. And that takes a long time. Instead, I am looking for a way to copy files right away without doing and prescanning.

  1. When you open folder on a panel far scans it
  2. Far scans files to calculate totals to show it. Turn off Options -> Interface settings -> Show total copy progress indicator - this can speed up the process.
