RoboCopy GUI

[Danny35d]

I know there are several robocopy wrappers out in the internet but, you may have to pay to get all the functionality working, like CopyRite XP or the freewares that I found doesn't include all robocopy switches. So I combine the three wrappers I like the most and I create my own version of RoboCopyGUI. You will need robocopy.exe from Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools.

Thanks to Holger for GUI Menu with icons and color and Big_Daddy for marqee style progress control

NOTE: I only tested on Windows XP Sp2 and using AutoIt 3.2.0.1 also, marquee style progress only work on Windows XP.

This is superb.

I'll write again later on with a few thoughts -

Nice. If I had to ask for an improvement, then search the system path variable for Robocopy.exe. I keep an additional address to path to point to an extra cmdline tools folder.

This may show my concern

Global $robocopy
If FileExists(@ScriptDir & '\robocopy.exe') Then
    $robocopy = @ScriptDir & '\robocopy.exe'
Else
    $path = EnvGet('path')
    $path_array = StringSplit($path, ';')
    If Not @error Then
        For $i = 1 To $path_array[0]
            If FileExists($path_array[$i] & '\robocopy.exe') Then
                $robocopy = $path_array[$i] & '\robocopy.exe'
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Next
    EndIf
EndIf

If Not $robocopy Then
    _Download('RoboCopy Not Found')
ElseIf FileGetVersion($robocopy) <> '5.1.1.1010' Then
    _Download('RoboCopy Wrong Version')
EndIf

MsgBox(0, 'Just checking', $robocopy)

Func _Download($sTitle)
    MsgBox(0, 'Just checking', 'not found')
EndFunc

Thanks

Edit:

Added Exitloop to save some extra loops if found quick

Hi!

Just a (very) little thing: the "2 seconds granulity" (/FFT) is useful, not only for FAT, buf for many NAS, disk under samba/linux, etc.

I suggest at all robocopy's users to set the /FFT option by default.

[Danny35d]

Check first post.

Fix help file always open when robocopy start.

[lainez]

please help!!!!!!!

thanks to danny35d for this great tool!

[pierlo]

Here is what i came up with. Didn't know AutoIt at that time.. but it works..

_NL_FileProc.zip

[mnemo]

Hello,

I'm new in autoit but I've downloaded "robocopy.zip", unpacked it and before modifying it (i.e. translate it in french), I'm trying to compile it from the source provided.

It does compile but the exe file has a filesize of 487Kb in place of 305Kb for the exe provided in the zip file.

More than this when executing this newly compiled exe, I get the following error...

AutoIt Error

Line 6731 (File ""):

Error: Duplicate function name.

Any idea ?

Regards.

AutoIt 3.2.0.1

Which AutoIt Version are you using? Since that release there have been several script breaking changes introduced... either compile with 3.2.0.1, or adjust the script yourself to the script breaking changes since then... Edited April 20, 2010 by KaFu

I have used robocopy but sorry I cant try another version of it. Yes its good that you have made a GUI version of it, earlier it felt like hacking or something. It does not provide long path name support. I started to look for other software and found that GS Richcopy works very well and it is simple to use, no reading manuals to use a software. It provides NTFS support, multi threaded file transfer, long path name support, email notification when transfer is done, and above all it does not require you to read a manual first then start using it like robocopy does! Hope it helped you all!

[kumar99]

Its good that you have released the GUI version of robocopy, it was very difficult to use earlier. I will try this. By the way, I am currently using GS Richcopy 360 which solved all my problems related to file copying, it works for FTP transfer also. I will recommend you GS Richcopy 360. It is easy to use and provides lot of useful features.
