You retrieved singly the file content from an existing file and create a new file with the same content. That creation counts as a modification. I don't really see a possible way to get around that since it actually does count as a modification.
I can do copy and paste from Windows Explorer and the modified date is the same as that of the original file. I would like the same behaviour. Are you using the same connection or different connection? I mean same account to connecting to file system or different account? If same, you can try the action "Copy File' or "Move File". I am using 2 different connections. I am not able to use the same connection as they have different paths.
The File System only has Copy File action. I can only specify one connection with the Copy File action. So, I am unable to copy file from one connection to another connection without using the current way, i. I can't find the Move File action in File System. Also, I want to leave the original file in connection 1, and not deleting it. You're wrong, the two sets of files don't have the same date and size.
The files in K: are all newer than those in F:, as shown clearly by the fact that their dates are in bold text. So even if the sizes match since neither size text is in bold , the dates don't and so the files are not necessarily the same.
Who says the files in the original location i. F: won't be kept? The dialog is clearly asking whether in the target folder i. K:, you want to keep copies of the original set of files from F:, or you want to retain the new files already in K:. No offence, but just because you didn't understand the dialog doesn't mean others don't.
I've been around the world enough to have met lots of foreigners who could speak English better and write both English and code better than their counterparts here. Personally, when I'm faced with genuine OS issues I couldn't care less about the background of the developers. You can't keep both sets of files with the same name in the same folder. This has never been possible. All you can decide to do with the dialog above is, as I've already said, choose to keep the newer files in K: or overwrite them with the older ones from F: or keep both versions in K: with the ones from F: being automatically renamed.
The original files in F: will of course be left untouched since you're copying and not moving, exactly as you want. They're asking because the file names are conflicting. Couldn't be simpler. Now you decide which version of the files you want ending up in K:.
Instead it shows you a dialog where it highlights which file in each pair is newer, and which file in each pair is bigger. If you select both of a pair then it will rename the file being copied so both versions can co-exist in the target folder. Now what if one wants to end up with only the newer files in the Target folder i. This is obviously impossible when one has hundreds of files in each column to select. Instead if they had options like i Select only the newer files, ii Select only the older files, iii Select only the smaller files and iv Select only the bigger files, then IMO the dialog would be far more useful.
As can be seen from an earlier post above the dialogue box shows the same files with the same name, the same date but a time 1 or 2 secs more than the original file. This causes the "Skip files with the same date and size" to be greyed out and unavailable. Has anyone else found this and is there a solution? What used to take 45 minutes to simply copy everything 26,files 40Gig now only takes 40 seconds as it only updates the files that have changed.
I assume sometime in the future Win10 will get a full blown overhaul of "file copy", until then use this "Batch file" e. Using Notebook write out the text below, save, and rename file extension to Filebak. Then everytime you want to copy any changes or new files just click the Filebak. It also creates a Log file with date and time, so that there is a permanent log of what was copied, when.
Ctrl C to exit. To customise;Right click the. Indeed all Microsoft-WIN10 programmers have to do is use the DOS commands as above in a user friendly application using file explorer copy-cut and paste , as a one button solution to backing up new, and changed files.
