jMultiFilesAndDirsCopy is portable application that helps copy multiple files to multiple directories.

Hi,

I'm Alessandro, the author of jMultiFilesAndDirsCopy.

First of all, thanks for your review of my app.

I suggest you to try the last version, 0.9.1.0, a minor update with the following enhancements:
- import and export of lists of files and dirs as xml file
- progress bars in log window for files and dirs
- fixed automatic text scrolling in log window with large number of files.

In my next step I'm going to add a new tab called "GroupCopy", a sort of "MultiCopy" extension to more than one group of files and dirs at the same time.
Take a look at my home page (alexbss.altervista.org) for further details.

Regards,
Alessandro

Looks good.

A good development would be the ability to be able to set permissions of the files.

[cralexx]

I'll think to a further new tab for permissions and date settings.

For the moment, the main task is the copy of files.

In my web-site "Features planned" link you can see my future addition to "jMultiFilesAndDirsCopy".

However every good idea is welcome.

Thanks

...and after that, a scheduler so I can set it to copy when I know the machines are not being used

[cralexx]

Hi,

a scheduler is not in my plans, but I'm going to add cmd line arguments support so you can use them and the o.s. built-in scheduler engine to execute your tasks when you need.
For example, you could write something like:

jMultiFilesAndDirsCopy -l mylists.xml -c

that is:
-l mylists.xml = load the files and dirs lists from the xml file called mylists.xml
-c = execute the copy

The feature of loading lists as xml file has been added in version 0.9.1.0 ;
the cmd line arguments support will be in near future (step-by-step).

At the moment, I'm working to the "GroupCopy" tab, in my spare time.
I'll report all new features in my home page.
