Copy
With this function you can copy or move files.
Options:

- Follow Symlinks
Only the copy-function will follow symlinks. For example if there is a symlink at a directory the directory will be copied, not the symlink. This is very important for example if you use devices such as a disk.
- Move
Lets you move the selected files.
- Rename
Selected items will be renamed but not the subdirectories or files situated in the subdirectories.
- Same directory
This lets you copy the file in the same directory. The copy will be renamed.
- Request destination
If you select this option you will be asked for the destination.
- Copy mode
Choose the copy mode:
- Normal
This is the default mode. For displaying a progress bar a database, containing the copied files, will be filled up.
- Fast
There will be no database and no progress bar.
This speeds up the copy-process and memory will be saved.
Copy-programs for copying so called "non-regular" files can be inserted in the to textfields (e.g. symlinks).
The second textfield can contain a overwrite-program for these "non-regular" files.
Attention: Normally this entry is NOT necessary, because the UNIX 'cp' will be used by default.
If you want to use a different program you have to consider the following:
The inserted string has to contain %s two times. At these points the source and the destination will be inserted. But you can not do anything wrong because the program always checks your input.
- If you select this option the flags will be requested on every execution
