Xcopy GUI

[RichE]

Hi Guys/Gals,

if in your job, like me you have to lots shunt files around on regular basis and use xcopy to do this, then this may come in useful for you.

I originally wrote version 1 years ago, but decided that it deserved some more of my time, so here it is version 2

and here's the code

I've compiled it in 32bit and 64bit version contained in this rar

Feedback would be nice

I was just getting ready to create a small application like this, but figured I should look around the forum first before starting on my project.

I like the look and ease of use, but did have to make a slight modification for my first test run.

I'm not sure which version of XCOPY you may be running on your workstation, but my version is 5.1.2600.

Which does not support the "/J" switch you have for the $unbuffered variable. "Copies using unbuffered I/O. Recommended for very large files"

All of the other switches you use exist, so I don't imagine any issues there.

Once I get a chance I may run it through some more tests.

Thanks for sharing!

[BrewManNH]

It appears that the /j switch is only usable under Windows 7 and/or Vista, my Win7 box has version 6.1.7600 while my XP machine has 5.1.2600. I'm guessing the version number corresponds to the Windows version number that it's running on.

[Country73]

I had that feeling and was going to try it out on my Win7 when I get home. Whole network is XP and can't get my hands on Win7 here at work, yet...

[BrewManNH]

It wouldn't be hard to modify the code to include a check of the OS version and if it's XP or lower don't show that check box, or use that option.

[Country73]

Yep, working fine on my Win7 X64.

I would follow along the lines as what BrewManNH stated.

If it were me, I would either do an OS Version check on launch, or XCOPY version on launch, and then simply uncheck and disable that checkbox if the end-user has the wrong version.

[RichE]

My fault there, never thought that XCopy had improved from the XP ver, I've added in this OS check

If @OSVersion = "WIN_XP" Then
    $option_unbuffered = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Copies using unbuffered I/O. Recommended for very large files.", 424, 172, 400, 17)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
Else
    $option_unbuffered = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Copies using unbuffered I/O. Recommended for very large files.", 424, 172, 400, 17)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
EndIf

and recompiled and updated the .rar and the source code in the first post. , if you find anymore things just let me know

[NunoBorges]

Viva,

Thank you for providing this GUI for xcopy.

The interface is nice and functional.

Pause WORKS !!!

When testing the v2 version with all the default options found the following, which I think is of interest best, I think.

- When selecting the destination, it does not check whether the destination has enough space. (DriveSpaceFree ("path"))

- When copying to a destination out of space, the program ends stating that the copy was successful, I think be worth checking the return of xcopy. (_ProcessExitCode ($ Pid))

- While running a task, options must be disabled.

- While running, if you close the window xcopy, the program reports that the job went well.

When i get a chance I will see the code, and it may be that you will notice some possible improvements.

Again,

Thanks for sharing

Sincerely

Nuno Borges

[RichE]

@Nuno, Thanks for the feedback, I'll get on and start implementing the things you have highlighted, and I'll post back once I have something to show

wrote in the to disabled the options when running a task, and re-enable them once completed (original source updated), but I've not updated the .rar yet

todo

calculate size of source files/folder

check size of destination for enough free space

monitor/result code of xcopy PID for early closure.

possible todo's

hide xcopy cmd prompt

use progress bar for remaining bytes/mb's to be copied, negating the need to check for early xcopy.exe closure.

Thanks again

RichE

Edited September 16, 2011 by RichE

[RichE]

added source size check, destination is disabled until source is selected, destination freespace check added, will not enable the "Proceed with copy" unless there is enough free space.

All gui controls are disabled on task execution.

I've updated the source code ^^ and also the .rar link ^^

[BrewManNH]

Instead of disabling and then reenabling all of the controls during the copy, you might want to try using GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE) and @SW_ENABLE, that will disable the whole GUI instead of each control one at a time. Also, the method you use to find the destination freespace takes a LONG time, you should use DriveSpaceFree instead of DirGetSize because that checks to see if the DRIVE has the space available rather than if a directory does. The code below has the changes made to your original code that includes these changes, try them both and see which works better for you.

@BrewmanH, Thanks for the help, I thought about @sw_disable, but I also thought about hiding the gui completely and showing it afterwards, you way seems more efficient.

like they say, you learn something new everyday , so thanks again for the tips

Regards

RichE

[RichE]

your changes for determining freespace worked really well, I changed @SW_DISABLE to @SW_HIDE so it completely hide the gui until the xcopy cmd prompt window has exited.

also corrected a typo for comparing the completed task sizes.

thanks agian for the help.

here's my updated code (including your code)

I'm glad I could help, the GUI idea you came up with was very useful for me as I have to copy things back and forth on my network drives a lot.

[RichE]

Yes, I shunt data around our network, and whilst there are windows based applications, I've alway found xcopy the most reliable, so I wrote this GUI to save me having to do xcopy /? to get the correct syntax for cmd line.

So if anyone finds it useful then I'm glad to share.

I've added a thanks to you into the source code.

[RichE]

did a minor re-calcualtion to determine mb or gb on destination drive freespace, added a splash screen, and created an inno installer for x86 and x64 version, both available for download via my website (saves autoit's site bandwidth).

thanks again to everyone who helped with the recoding

Viva,

For testing, I think it would be useful hast a version without requiring installation, and perhaps without upx.

Based on your post # 13, and the default options:

steps:

1 - Source: C: \ windows

2 - Destination C: \

Program exits.

another:

- Browse to Destination

- In the window of choice, cancel

Program exits.

PS: Do you know cmd Robocopy?

Best regards

If you're looking for a GUI for RoboCopy, there is one already, Microsoft has created it for most versions of RoboCopy.

Viva,

Excuse me for not having addressed the issue of Robocopy, it was for the RichE, and put the question to think that for what it is in principle to use xcopy, robocopy can bring you the most advantages.

Although Robocopy isn't included with Windows XP, you'd have to download it separately, xcopy has been included with every version of DOS and Windows since probably DOS 3. It also is still included with Windows 7, so some people are still using it in place of RoboCopy. I tend to use both myself, as RoboCopy works better on Win Vista/7 when copying folders with junctions in them.
