    1. About

    FastCopy is the Fastest Copy/Delete Software on Windows.
    RapidCopy is portable version of FastCopy that runs Mac OS X.


    Automatically selects different methods according to whether Source and DestDir are in the same or different HDD.
    Diff HDDReading and writing are processed respectively in parallel by separate threads.
    Same HDDReading is processed until the big buffer fills. When the big buffer filled, writing is started and processed in bulk.

    Because Reading/Writing are processed with no OS cache at all, other applications don't easily become slow.
    Include/Exclude Filter (UNIX Wildcard style) can be specified.
    GUI and some function constructed by     Qt Framework For the purpose of performance, Using a POSIX system call to replace the Win32API.
    Add a number of features such as xxHash verify and copy result EMail sending.
    RapidCopy for Linux has been published on Github.
    The RapidCopy There are two versions.

    Please refer to the table below for feature differences.

    3. Environment

    Mac OS X 10.13.6 ～ x64CPU,64bit kernel mode launching required.

    4. Install/Uninstall

    RapidCopyRapidCopy Pro
    InstallPlease refer to the AppStore manualsPlease D&D RapidCopyPro.app to Application folder.
    UninstallPlease delete RapidCopy(Pro).app in Application folder.←
    LicenseAgree Apple EULAPlease D&D RapidCopyPro.app to Application folder.

    5. Usage

    If main window is minimized, it is stored in system tray.

    Source / DestDir

    Specified Source(s) / DestDir by D&D or FileDialog.
    （In case of RapidCopy Pro, remember Source(s) and DestDir history）

    If you want to add files/dirs to the Source field by using drag and drop, simply drop with pushing Command key.
    You can also drag & drop to DestDir field.
    You can not specify a symbolic link directly to the Source and DestDir.
    (Please refer to the     handling of symbolic links.)

    Regarding different behavior whether the end of DestDir character is '/' or not.

    Source is one directory and the end of DestDir character is NOT '/'
    Copy source directory's contents to DestDir.
    (DestDir/Contents_of_SourceDir)

    Other cases
    Copy source directory that including it self to DestDir.
    (DestDir/SourceDir/Contents_of_SourceDir)

    Operation mode

    ModeDetail
    Diff (No Overwrite) Copy if the same filename doesn't exist in destination.
    Diff (Size/date) Copy if size or date is different, or if it doesn't exist (default)
    Diff (Size) Copy if source filesize is different.
    This mode requires "LTFS" checking.
    Diff (Newer) Copy if source date is newer or doesn't exist.
    Copy (Overwrite all) Always copy/overwrite all.
    Sync (Size/date) Copy if size or date is different, or doesn't exist. In addition, delete all destination files/directories that don't exist in source.
    Note:You Can't select with SONY ODA mode and LTFS mode.
    Verify（Size） Don't run Copy. verify only.
    In verify mode, this process is following differences as an error.
  • Different size of date
  • File or folder exists in the Source, but is not present in DestDir
  • Unauthorized file of verification results
    • Verify mode or when "listing+v" run in RapidCopy Pro, verify against the symbolic link, regardless of the setting, and compares the file entity.
    Move (Overwrite all) Always copy/overwrite all and delete all copied source files. (It is able to change "Move (Overwrite all)" -> "Move (Size/date)" in settings dialog.)
    Note:You Can't select with SONY ODA mode and LTFSMode.
    Delete Delete all files/dirs by force.
    Note:You Can't select with SONY ODA mode and LTFSMode.

    Buttons & Options

    Execute The copy operation is executed. While copy is executing, this button changes "Cancel..." button.
    Listing The files and directories list that will be copied and deleted are displayed.
    output reference is here
    (Compare file pairs that will be skipped(except skipping by filter), if this button is pushed with pushing Command key(button label "listing" -> "listing+v"(*2)))
    Buffer size Specify the size(MB) of the main buffer for Read/Write oprations.
    Speed Control Specify "Full Speed", "Auto Slow"(*1), "9"~"1", "Suspend".
    If you feel it is hogging resources, it is recommended to set to "Auto Slow" (If it detects mouse moving/active window changing (and fastcopy window isn't foreground), it is slowed down).
    If "Full Speed" isn't selected, low process priority class is set.
    (This setting is not saved by job manage)
    NonStop Don't interrupt even if errors occur by Read/Write/Delete, and keep processing as much as possible.
    (However, errors are displayed in the main window, and recorded in the error log.)
    Verify Verify written files data.
    By default, verify with xxHash.
    You can choose any of the hash algorithm in Settings->General Settings->I/O configuration.

    ... Action detail: Read(Src) -> xxHash(Src) -> Write(Dst) -> Read(Dst) -> xxHash(Dst) -> Compare xxHash(Src/Dst)
    (Of course, all actions are processed in parallel as much as possible)
    Estimate Display the estimated complete time. This means will cause RapidCopy to investigates source tree before starting.
    Top RapidCopy window is always top-level.
    Start at once Start at once without waiting for the finish of other RapidCopy instance(s) executing. (This button doesn't show when other RapidCopy isn't copying.)
    "?" Show help
    (*1)It is slowed if RapidCopy window isn't foreground and it is detected mouse moving, by waiting beetween I/O, changing process priority, and changing maximum I/O size.
    (*2)"Listing+V" mode is backward compatibility feature of the Windows version users. We recommend the use of the verify mode in RapidCopy.
    ACL Copy Access Control List.
    EA Copy EA(Extended Attribute).
    Please be used if you want to keep the metadata of the file.
    Ex:Finder color label data.
    LTFS Copy from/to Linear Tape File System(LTFS)
    EA,ACL,Speed Control is disable.
    Diff copy that uses the date can not be selected under LTFS.
    Replace LTFS Prohibit char to '_'.
    Please refer to the BBS for LTFS support information.
    SONY ODA Copy from/to SONY Optical Data Archive(ODA)
    Replace ODAUDF Prohibit char to '_'.
    By default, FastMode(PACKED_WRITE) is used to write data at high speed.
    To reduce the risk of power failure, uncheck "Preferences" -> "General settings" -> "Sony ODA Settings" -> "Safe Mode".
    Removing the above check is synonymous with "Synchronize management data to media immediately after completion of writing files." in "Optical Disk Archive Utility."
    In addition, specifying "FastMode" and "SageMode" of RapidCopyPro overrides the setting of "Optical Disk Archive Utility".
    Please refer to various ODA manuals for further details.
    Wipe & Delete (prevent deleted files reviving) Rename filename and Overwrite random data before deleting. EA isn't overwritten. If NSA method is checked in setting dialog, Overwriting Random data process runs two times, and overwriting NULL data process runs once.


    Handling of Alias(by Finder)/Symbolic link(by "ln -s")

    ModeActions
    Diff/Copy By default,copy the symbolic link itself.
    In the case of RapidCopy Pro, you will be able to copy the target of a symbolic link of the entity in the config.

    Default behavior is here.
  • Alias(make by Finder):Copy the alias itself regardless of the contents of the setting.(*1)
  • Symbolic link(ln -s):Copy symboliclink as link.(*2)

    • Move Always move the alias and symbolic link itself.
    Delete Always remove the alias symbolic link itself.
    (*1):Please attach the EA always. It may not work properly if EA does not exist.
    (*2):Will be the behavior of --recreate options equivalent of below is always active.

    Hardlink

    HardLink can be reproduced as much as possible, if specify "linkdest=1" in configuration file.
    (In running, "TotalFiles:" format changes "number_of_files (number_of_dirs)" to "number_of_files / number_of_created_hardlinks (number_of_dirs)").
    Please note that consumes 10MB about memory at the maximum per hard link entity 10 000 files. (Path length dependent).
    If "linkdest" option is enabled,    --recreate is enabled tacitly.

    File -> Open New Window(Only RapidCopy Pro)

    Open In New Window.
    ShortCut is Command+N.

    File -> Save Bug Report(Only RapidCopy Pro)

    generate Bug Report Data.

    Add/Modify Add/Modify prameters in main window(Source/DestDir, Operation mode, Buffer size, Nonstop/Verify/Estimate/ACL/AltStream/Wipe&Delete/Filter checkboxes, Filter strings, HDD mode) as named job.
    Delete Delete registered job.

    JobMng -> JobList Mode(RapidCopy Pro only)

    Save a set of job as JobList and run JobList as copybatch.
    Job order can be changed.

    JobList

    Load job list, save, and delete.
    Create/Save List Create/save the contents of the current job list.
    Delete list Delete current job list.
    When deleting the job in the job list is all will be removed.
    (If the job of the same name outside the deleted job list exists, it does not delete)
    Force Launch If check off, a fatal error occurs in any of the job(ex:Src/Dst path invalid, memory allocate error), it does not start all subsequent job.
    Please check to think well the order dependent.

    JobList Edit

    Adding a job to job list, delete, reorder,running etc..
    Support D&D reorder.
    Add Job Add the contents of the current main window as a new job in the job list under the name of YYYYMMDD_HHMMSSZZZ.
    Execute JobList Runs current job list. If job list is running,it will cancel button.
    Cancel JobList Cancel current job and cancel all later job.
    note:Can't cancel executed job(s).
    Double click job in joblist change the name of the selected job.
    Up key while holding down the Option(Alt) key It will raise the execution order of the job.
    Down key while holding down the Option(Alt) key It will reduce the execution order of the job.
    Drag and Drop in Job order Swap order.
    Delete Job Delete job from the job list.
    Delete all Job Delete all jobs from the job list.

    Notice for Joblist Mode

    When the job list mode execution of the behavior of existing functions are changed as follows.
    Start at once Force run without waiting for the completion of execution of other RapidCopy Pro.
    cancel... Cancel current job.(If next job exists,next job will start)
    Post-Process E-Mail,Execute Command,Play Sound, Runs at job list ends.
    Log Settings Detailed log:Generate YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-[joblistname].log(csv)file in the job list ends.
    If a fatal error, such as at each job src / dst path fraud occurs, the error contents are output to the standard log.
    CLI --auto_close:It does not automatically end if even one in a job in the job list error has occurred.
    --force_close:Forcibly quit after the end all of the job.
    Confirm before execute dialog "Confirm before execute" dialog is not displayed regardless of the setting.

    Preferences

    General settings. (change Default values, I/O parameters, and Copy Options, etc)

    I/O Settings -> I/O Settings alpha function can't recommend :)

    Specifies the Read/Write size when reading and writing data.
    It will be enable by writing "iomode=true" to the [main] section in the configuration file(RapidCopy.ini).
    Changing the I/O size may result in data corruption without repeatability.
    please test with "Verify" be careful! and good luck :)
    I/O unit (MB)read/write or aio_read/aio_write request unit size for OS.
    "I/O unit" * "OverLap I/O Num" is the [Max I/O size] for OS.
    8MB I/O unit size is the best performance for many environments, especially if 10G Ethernet used.
    If it is too large, I/O errors will occur. Please test and set it.
    OverLap I/O Num (v1.3.0 or later)I/O performance(especially 10G Ether) is improved by using aio_read/aio_write system call.
    (If it is specified "1", it will not be used aio_read/write I/O)
    Recommend value is "2". (because.. macOS kern.aiothreads value is "4")
    Note:Running multiple RapidCopy is likely to result in I/O error due to insufficient resources in the kernel.
    If you have a powerful multicore mac,You may change kern.aiomax,aioprocmax,aiothreads for tuning.
    Note:Depending on the file system and protocol,[Max I/O size] may be forcibly set to 1(for reliability)

    I/O Settings -> Verify mode

    Select verify algroithm. Default is xxHash
    Verify Modehash key length
    SHA-1160bit
    MD5128bit
    xxHash64bit

    I/O Settings -> Enable Readahead

    When RapidCopy is reading the data, Enable Readahead.

    Log Settings

    Default is "Write to Log" enabled.
    Log output charset is UTF-8
    Number of history items Src/DestDirneed to restart(RapidCopyPro only)

    Write EA(xattr) errors to LogWrite EA errors to Log.
    Write ACL errors to LogWrite ACL erros to Log.
    Write to detailed LogCreate the "Log/DATE".log file for each copy. If you check "verify", checksum add.
    Write to detailed CSV Create the "Log/DATE".log file for each copy.
    csv output format is no BOM and charset is UTF-8
    It can be converted to xls using the data import feature of OpenOffice or LibreOffice
    (Can't read the UTF-8 in MS Office)

    listup and detailed log format:

    Ends with "=>"Target is HardLink
    Ends with "->"Target is Symbolic link

    Option -> Auto/Same/Diff HDD mode

    Specify Auto/Same/Diff HDD mode(default: Auto).
    Command+ K shortcut toggles between disk modes (auto -> same -> diff ->...)

    Option -> Swap Source<->DestDir

    Swap Source for DestDir (for mutual update or etc).
    Source/DestDir will be modified based on different behavior whether the end of DestDir character is '/' or not. (For example, If Source is "/Volumes/TEST/AAA/BBB" and DestDir is "/Volumes/TEST/AAA/BBB", then Source becomes "/Volumes/CCC/BBB" and DestDir becomes "/Volumes/TEST/AAA/")
    If Source has two or more files/directories, this menu item is disabled.
    Command+Shift+S is shortcut of this function.

    Option -> Post-Process

    Select Post-Process.
    Set the action, such as sound settings and command execution or Email sending.
    Also, user can add new Post-Process settings.

    If you want to specify directories, please add '\' to the end of directory name.
    Note:If you specify a folder to Include/exclude filters, only the first matching folder is the copy target.
    (even if there is more than one match folder you will copy only the first match folder)
    (For example: *.txt; My Folder [0-9]\)
    Exclude Don't copy the files/directories that match up specified strings.
    FromDate Don't copy the files that timestamp are older than specified date(format).
    This can be specified by not only absolute format ("20090322") but also by relative format (10days before ... "-10D").

    8. Notes

    In some modes, destination files that exist with the same filename in source directories, are overwritten forcedly without confirming.
    In sync mode, destination files that don't exist with the same filename in source directories, are deleted forcedly without confirming.
    In delete mode, target files and directories are deleted forcedly without confirming.

    When an error interruption or cancellation during the execution of the copy that enable verification,
    RapidCopy will skip the verification of the copied file.
    In this case, it does not guarantee already integrity of the file.(*1)
    If you want to guarantee the verification of the copied file, You should run RapidCopy at Verify mode.
    (*1) FastCopy is also similar specifications. I'm going to improve this problem in conjunction with the original author.
    Please do not sleep during the operation of the RapidCopy (Pro).
    When sleep during data reading and writing may not be copied continuously.
    When RapidCopy Pro beta version is two months from the date that has been given to the file name expires, you will not be able to boot.
    If RapidCopy(Pro) has bugs, there is a possibility of serious problem.
    Please use at your own risk. (See     2. License)
