The sidebar in TeraCopy not only provides access to past file transfer operations but also displays currently running transfers. This allows you to monitor ongoing operations directly from the sidebar without needing to switch views.
Overview
Transfer Entries
Date and Time: Each entry displays the date and time when the operation was initiated.
Source Path: Shows the source directory or drive from where the files are being processed.
Target Path: Displays the destination directory or drive where the files are being processed.
Operation Mode Status: The sidebar includes indicators for ongoing operations:
Operation Mode: Indicates that an operation is in progress, with the percentage of completion shown.
Icons:
The play icon (▶️) next to the operation mode indicates that the process is currently active.
Progress Bars: Visual progress is shown as a bar under each operation, giving a quick glance at how much of the operation is complete.
File and Size Summary:
The sidebar provides a summary of the number of files and the total file size.
Monitoring Multiple Operations
The sidebar can display multiple ongoing operations simultaneously, allowing you to monitor the progress of each one independently.
Selection
Clicking on an ongoing operation will bring up more details in the main TeraCopy window, allowing you to view the file list, options, status, and logs related to that particular operation.
Context Menu for Running Operations
Right-clicking on a running or paused operation in the sidebar brings up a context menu with the following options:
Clone & Rescan
Action: Creates a duplicate of the current operation entry and rescans the source files.
Purpose: Useful if you want to repeat or verify the operation with updated file information.
Delete
Action: Removes the current operation entry from the history.
Purpose: Helps in managing operations that are no longer needed.
Clean History
Action: Clears all past and ongoing operation entries, effectively resetting the sidebar.
Purpose: Useful for maintaining a clean interface or focusing only on active or necessary operations.
