Most file transfer systems on OS has many of these problems and it&#8217;s not just Windows.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always wanted a file transfer manager, sort of like a download manager. Features I would love in this file transfer manager:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be able to queue up a list of transfers instead of executing them in parallel<\/li>\n<li>Limit the number of simultaneous transfers<\/li>\n<li>Continue to next file or transfer if error occurs or needs user action (i.e. overwrite a file or not)<\/li>\n<li>Support Yes, No, Yes to All, and No to All<\/li>\n<li>Be able to pause, stop, and resume transfers<\/li>\n<li>Be able to re-order when transfers are executed<\/li>\n<li>Show the speed of transfer<\/li>\n<li>Better approximate time left for transfer<\/li>\n<li>Force start a transfer to ignore the limit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This seems like a very easy system to write, yet no OS has this capability. I can of course write my own, but it would be so much better if it was incorporated into the core system, so I can copy or move files via the explorer and having automatically bring up the file transfer manager, like when I download using Firefox, the download manager automatically loads.<\/p>\n<p>I am able to explain &#8220;the long-filename anomaly&#8221;. Windows XP has a 255 character limit for file names. Windows Vista supports up to 260 characters. But this not counted the same way you&#8217;d think filename characters are counted. Most people assumed that filenames only refer to the filename + file extension (i.e. MyPhoto.jpg would have 11 characters). Filename in this scenario includes the entire file path, so that means file &#8220;C:\\Users\\me\\My Documents\\My Photos\\MyPhoto.jpg&#8221; really counts as 46 characters. So if you tried to move MyPhoto.jpg into a directory which already has 245 characters, it wouldn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows&#8217; Words of Doom (from B$) &#8211; The Time-Fluctuation Phenomenon The Delayed-Query Syndrome The Long-Filename Anomaly The Drive-Full Abort The Multiple-Folder-Slowdown Paradox The Yes-to-All Baffler The Cannot-Erase-File Gotcha I&#8217;m not one to post Dvorak&#8217;s stories as I think he&#8217;s one of the biggest trolls around, but this article does have merit.
