Given how long it takes to get a copy underway, it would be good if the following tasks were made into autonomous executables and thus be 'launched' away from the main interface -
* Calculating the CRC of a file, or of a group of files
* The copy operation itself - that way you could prepare the next operation while the first gets underway |

Hi,

See profile settings -> comparison, you can compare files using CRC

Using VVEngine to manage the profiles is probably the best option:

Found the setting, but it's still a modal dialog. That is, the main application locks up while obtaining CRC values - which on a large file across the network, means a loooong time. And this is just the compare step, prior to intiating the copy.
Can the engine you mention be configured to do the full sequence, automatically? i.e. -
1. CRC compare source & dest
2. Copy/Replace anything that doesn't match/is missing (skip any files that have a matching CRC)
3. After copy, redo CRC on any destination files copied
4. Retry any files that failed to copy correctly (in other words, goto step 2) |

All but 4. In case of a failure the profile needs to be restarted. Retrying a number of times on error (incl. CRC error) is something we want to add to ViceVersa. thanks
