Coping files and folders in AccelMan

There are three ways to copy files and folders: using clipboard (Copy and Paste commands), using the Copy To … command, or with drag and drop.

Coping files and folders using Copy To command

Mark source files, open in another file manager destination folder (optional) and select Copy To ... command from context or main menu (Commands item) or pressing F5.

In the shown dialog, check the destination folder, coping options and press Ok. AccelMan can compress files into a ZIP archive (Alt+F5) or compress and remove source files (Alt+F6), if checked corresponding options in copy dialog.

Coping files and folders using clipboard

Mark source files and folders and press Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+Insert) to place it into clipboard. As alternative, you can use context or main menu - Copy command. Then, open destination folder in File Manager (or in Windows Explorer of another Windows application) and press there Ctrl+V (Shift+Insert) to paste from clipboard source files and folders. Like on coping, you can use context or main menu: command Paste.

If you wish to copy not actual files, but only path to files as text, use Copy Location command instead.

Coping files and folders with Drag and Drop

Mark source files and folders, drag selection with mouse left button, move to destination folder (either in one of File Managers or any other Windows application) and drop. When dragging to hidden manager - place files for a moment onto manager tab to activate manager frame.

AccelMan has original feature: when you dragging files over some folder in file manager list and wait for a ~1.5 sec, this destination folder will be opened, and you can access to it sub folders. By the same way, you can drag files into parent folders.

Press Alt key when dragging files to use File Operation Dialog to change options of coping (e.g. turn on ZIP compression or ask to remove source files)
