CanCopy for Windows

User Reviews

• Wait until new version avail.....

  strangesteveMarch 23, 2010

  Pros

  None with the program itself, but after emailing the company i did get a refund (guess the refund is the only pro).

  Cons

  Well Everything: Nothing worked.... it just looked 'frozen' & never copied a single file. i think the program should at least have provided some sort of status to the user as to whats going on - is it copying? or idle? or searching?

  Summary

  I was planning to use the program to help me deal with some engineering software that sometimes generates really long path and file names. Tried version 2.1 to no avail, luckily the company gave me a refund, which I am grateful. I really still am looking for a good solution to my issue, and tried updating my Java engine to no avail (according to 'process explorer' the program wasn't doing anything). Perhaps there was some problem on my PC causing the issue - but a program is a program and it just didn't work 4 me - on top of that there was no feedback/status indicators in the gui that made it very frustrating. I was using ver 2.1 with win xp pro sp3 & jre 6.18 - i might try this sw app in the future but think it still needs a bit of work.

• Copies, moves and deletes files that Windows can't

  NevileJanuary 8, 2010

  Pros

  This works - allows me to copy, move and delete files that had been a really headache!

  Cons

  Delete function really deletes the file! It does not get moved to the recycle bin, however there is a warning dialogue advsing you of this.

  Summary

  I have had real problems dealing with files of over 251 characters when using Windows XP and Windows 7. This software allows me to copy, move and delete files that had previously been a real pain. The trial only allows you to copy files of 100k - but full license in only $14 :-)

• ADVERTIZED AS "NO LIMITATIONS" - FALSE !!!

  October 23, 2008

  Pros

  I GIVE NO 'PRO'S WHEN I AM LIED TO. DOWNLOAD.COM SHOULD NOT ADVERTIZE THIS AS "NO LIMITATIONS' AND CAUSE PEOPLE AGGRAVATION WHEN THEY FIND OUT THE TRUTH AFTER HAVING WASTED THIER TIME ON IT

  Cons

  IT IS NOT "NO LIMITATIONS", BUT LIMITED, AND A TRIAL VERSION AT THAT.

  Summary

  DOWNLOAD.COM IS ONCE AGAIN DOING THINGS FAST, SLOPPY, AND GIVING FALSE INFORMATION. THIS IS HAPPENING FAR TOO OFTEN.

• A dream came true. A must for everybody who needs to copy long file/path names

  Beta TesterApril 6, 2008

  Pros

  This piece of software is fantastic. It does what the Microsoft OS, shoud have done in the first place - allows you to copy long path names. Have you ever tried to copy a directory to another hard disk and the copy process stopped right in the middle, after 1-2 hours of copying, and you have no idea where the copy process was interrupted. This piece of software is addressing this issue. I love it !

  Cons

  Will come back on this after a couple of more week of testing - so far all is fine
