DOpus copy bypass

Is there a way to bypass the DOpus copy function?

For FTP transfers, it's fine as I don't make multiple copies at the same time and such utilities like Super Copier can't be used for that. Other than for FTP, it would be really more convenient for me to be able to use Super Copier the way it works by default!

I guess I could make user commands and/or toolbar button for that + shortcuts, but I guess it could be kind of a problem at some points to replace these general functions.

Does anyone have an idea of the best thing that can be done?

Thanks a lot for your help!

You can change what happens when you drag & drop files via Settings -> File Types -> All Files & Folders. The Events tab handles left-button drag & drops while the Drop Menu tab defines what appears in the right-button drag & drop menu.

You can change what the Copy / Move buttons on the toolbars by simply editing the buttons.

You can change the Ctrl-C/V/X hotkeys via Settings -> Customize -> Keys.

I don't think there is a (sensible) way to have a single button/action do different things depending on the combination of source/destination types, however. So if you replace all of the Opus Copy commands with something else you will probably break the ability to copy to/from FTP sites. To avoid that you should keep the Opus Copy/Move commands somewhere, e.g. on a toolbar button, so they're available when you need them.

As an idea, you could make the toolbar Copy/Move buttons use Opus on left-click and Super Copier on right-click (or vice versa) so that you can easily choose the one you want in any situation.

This was a really quick answer! GREAT!

All your explanations helped me to get the ideas about some points clearer, this is really helpful!

I'm a new user of DOpus on PC, but already used this application on my old amiga machine! This was just to introduce myself a little.
I already saw a lot of benefits with DOpus as a replacement of the windows explorer, and the little extra is that it reminds me some of my younger days!

By the way, I was thinking, there's a lot of things that could be done on user commands using some scripts. Maybe I could make a user command script to check if there's ftp in the path to choose between the builtin DOpus copy and Super Copier.
I don't know yet what can be exactly done using scripts, I'm still tweaking some stuff on the apperance and display of folders, before making my own user commands, but i already think a lot about it.

I'll make that user command for super copier, see how it's handy, and try to make a script also in some spare time :slight_smile:

Thanks again!
