Problem copying files to multiple locations

[peterreyn11]

I'm using Portable Everything with Teracopy.

I frequently copy file(s) over (either with paste into folders, or using the parent folders option in the context menu)to multiple locations with Teracopy, by highlighting the file(s) or folder(s) in Everything.

Sometimes, but not all the time, not all the files are copied over on the first attempt. I have to repeat the process 2 or 3 times to ensure that everything is copied.
This tends to happen more with smaller files.

By default, Everything will perform the paste with the system IFileOperation.

I don't have a good explanation for some files not copying.
Could you please capture a verbose debug log:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Verbose.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging.
• Perform a paste to multiple folders.
  --repeat until a file is not copied.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
  --This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt
• Please upload this log in a bug report.

Pasting with IFileOperation can be disabled with the advanced paste_file_operation setting.
When disabled, Everything will fall back to using the paste verb.
To disable pasting with IFileOperation:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  paste
• Select: paste_file_operation
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

Does disabling paste_file_operation help?

Thanks,

paste_file_operation was already set to false..If set to true, Teracopy does not work.

For the debug log, should it be done immediately after there has been a problem with copying and pasting?

Debug logging has to be enabled before the issue occurs.

Since paste_file_operation isn't enabled, enabling verbose output is not required.

When the issue occurs again, look for the following lines in the %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt:

Enter ShellExecuteExW

(folder name follows)

ShellExecuteExW(): GetLastError(): <error-code>: failed to execute

Check there's a Enter ShellExecuteExW for each folder.
What is the error code shown?
