Subject  :  Problem with corrupted directory
Size(KB) :  1


I use XXCOPY 2.82.4 on WinNT 4 Server sp5/FAT16 + IE4's new shell (Active
Desktop).
I made a batch script to update a tree of folders with source code and
binaries to a Zip 250 drive.
It works fine and fast in clone mode.
One line of my batch is:
xxcopy "F:\_Work\CNS2.3\cgi\" Y:\23\cgi\ /EXDev_NoBackup.lst /CLONE /YY/ZS
I know about /YY culprit, but as I said, it is tested and OK.

The problem is that Zip drive (or its driver) is quite unreliable. Today, I
had a directory reported as corrupted, confirmed by the system.
XXCOPY reported the problem in a dialog box. Good.
But it displayed the dialog box for each and every file it tried to put in
this folder. Argh! I had to kill the job brutally...

My suggestion: either avoid to report the same error twice (or, say, more
than thrice to emphasize the problem?), or provide something like a checkbox
labelled "Skip this error for this folder", or just add a Cancel job button to
the dialog box...

Thank you for your wonderful utility.

Regards.
