Copying Workstation files to NAS Drive (UAC) issue

Hey Leo,

I will give it a go and report back but should I remove MalwareBytes, LavaSoft Ad-Aware, SuperAntiSpyware and Tabbles from the computer system or is it best to leave them alone as they are now.

Cheers,

Gino :slight_smile:

Try removing them, but only if the things I mentioned earlier in the list don't seem to help.

As a general note, it's usually not a good idea to have multiple real-time malware scanners installed (except maybe the built-in Windows Defender + a third party scanner).

(I don't know about ones you are using in detail, though. It's possible they coexist with each other just fine, and/or that they don't install real-time scanners at all and only do on-demand scanning.)

Hey Leo,

I tried the things you mentioned but no luck yet.

[quote="leo"]After seeing the problem, run Process Explorer (run it as Administrator, i.e. via UAC), push Ctrl+F and then paste the name of the file in. Does it list any processes as having the file open?[/quote] I tried it with .exe and without at the end of the file name nothing showed up at all.

[quote="leo"]In Opus, turn off Preferences / File Operations / Copy Attributes / Copy metadata (comments, keywords, etc), then fully exit & restart Opus.[/quote] Did this and left it on for the purpose of testing so I could resolve the issue.

[quote="leo"](Don't just close all the Opus windows, that isn't enough to exit the program by default. Make sure you select the Exit option, and that dopus.exe is no longer listed in the task manager Process list if you are unsure. Reboot if you are really not sure.)[/quote] I also made sure nothing was running in process explorer for thsi purpose.

[quote="leo"]The Tabbles software you have seems suspect to me, since it installs a shell extension written in .Net (which is a bad idea), and that extension is loaded near a possibly (though not definitely) suspect part of the log.

Get the latest version of ShellExView and use it to disable anything to do with Tabbles, then fully exit & restart Opus and try again.[/quote] I downloded it, ran it as Administrator mode and tried it as you suggested and also killed it in Process Explorer no luck as well.

[quote="leo"]If it still happens, go back to ShellExView, scroll right until you see the "Microsoft" column, then click so the list is sorted by that column. Select all of the non-Microsoft extensions, and disable them all -- except for the Directory Opus ones -- then fully exit & restart Opus and try again.
[/quote] No luck here either when trying this out as well.

On the other hand I could start removing other software as mentioned by yourself leo from the previous post and see what happens but will they leave some kind of information in the registry that will not help us solving this.

At the moment I can use tera copy or window explorer as they seem to work without a giltch.

I really appreciate your time leo and anyone else who has helped along the way any other thought let me know.

[quote="Gino"]Hey Guys,

I have a issue at times when copy or cut to move files from my workstation desktop to my Nas drive I get a error as shown in the screen shot. I have tried to also allow UAC on for 5 minutes still the same error occurs.

[attachment=0]Copy _ Directory Opus Moving files 15082011.jpg[/attachment]

This doesn't aways happen from time to time any thoughts? BTW even when using the cut command from opus the file remains in the original location as well as the new location.

Cheers, :slight_smile:[/quote]

Just a update I transferred this file today and it worked nothing has changed on the computer other than installed a couple of programs. I did move a file today as well from the workstation to the nas drive which was the latest DOpus .exe file and the problem re-occurred strange.

Cheers,

What is the NAS drive model? Have you searched online for similar issues with this model? Have you contacted the manufacturer for their input to this?

Your NAS drive may have a log file or an option to run one. If so, I would see what it logs when this happens.

NAS drives can be particularly quirky in their communication, especially via shell replacement tools. If you can configure it to run without using an ip as a normal drive, you might have better luck. I've experienced similar issues with these and stopped using them.

If low form factor (i.e. small footprint) isnโ€™t a requirement, old computers work great for this: They run much faster, provide higher compatibility, experience less communication issues and provide better configuration options.

Little update

I just moved a file from my downloads file folder to a external usb pen drive using DOpus and the same thing happened on the .exe file but some others moved ok. BTW I tested it with windows explorer or teracopy no problems. But I also noticed even though the error has occurred the file was moved and left behind in the original location using the cut and move form.

Hi I have the same problem. I want to back up files to the NAS. Win 10 File explorer does this, including creating new folders and deleting them. Opus noes not, at least it may sometimes!!. It strikes me that Opus should inherit all the permissions that File Explorer has, and do the same things. So there are 2 choices

  1. It should inherit the same permissions, and can be fixed to do so.
  2. It cannot do the same things and you have to use File Explorer instead.

I would like to think the choice is no 1, but at the moment it seems i'm stuck with choice no 2.

You'd need to work out where things are failing to know what's going on. We need more detail to do that.

The questions in my first reply are a good place to start.

Process Monitor logs may reveal what's happening, too, but only in addition to those questions so we know what to look for.

Hi
Latest Fall Creators Update version 10.0.16299 seems to have solved this issue
