These buttons make use of the source and destination concept. Selected files will be copied or moved from the current source folder to the current destination - or, if there is no current destination folder, Opus will prompt you to select the destination folder. text/html 2023-12-10T22:31:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=file_operations:copying_moving_and_deleting_files:copy_and_paste&rev=1702247508&do=diff Copy-and-paste (or cut-and-paste) is possibly the simplest method of moving files around. * Select the files you want to copy or move, choose the Copy () or Cut () command from the Edit menu * Navigate to the target folder, and select Paste (). text/html 2023-11-27T05:36:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=file_operations:copying_moving_and_deleting_files:copy_queues&rev=1701063392&do=diff In Explorer, if you start a copy (or move) operation and then, while it is still running, start another, the two will run in parallel. This can be undesirable, as it is often slower to read or write to the same device in parallel instead of in series. If two copies involve the same physical hard drives, the drive heads will need to continuously seek back and forth ("thrashing"), reducing overall transfer speed. Similarly, when transferring files over a network, multiple simultaneous transfers ca… text/html 2023-11-28T00:58:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=file_operations:copying_moving_and_deleting_files:deleting_files&rev=1701133080&do=diff To delete a file or folder, you can either: * Select the file and press the key on the keyboard * Right-click the file and choose the Delete command from the context menu * Select the file and click the Delete button on the toolbar.

In this case Opus normally displays the Confirm File Replace dialog, asking you what to do. The goal of this dialog is to show you enough information about the existing file (the one that already exists in the target folder) and the new file (the one you are copying) to help you decide what action to take. text/html 2023-11-27T06:38:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://docs.dopus.com/doku.php?id=file_operations:copying_moving_and_deleting_files:the_jobs_bar&rev=1701067128&do=diff If you tend to have multiple file operations happening at once you have probably found it hard to manage the individual progress dialogs that Opus creates. The Jobs Bar is designed to make it easier to keep track of multiple simultaneous file operations. It is a small bar that appears at the bottom of the Lister, and displays a button for each currently running job.
