Many software developers have been trying to fix, supplement or improve some functions that are normally carried out by the operating system itself. That is the case of file copying or moving operations. Windows is unable of doing this type of operations reliably as it cannot manage copying errors efectively, a deficiency inherited by all Windows versions up to the present.
Copy Changed Files is intended to help you copy or move folders and files. Its particularity is that it provides a series of options that will allow you to customize the copying process. This application will specially take care of managing the process of copying different versions of the same file.
Certainly this application is not as easy to use as other file copiers. Its rather complex interface is overloaded with options, but this is understandable if we take into account that there are many parameters to configure. The basic elements of the process are still the same: selecting the files to copy, a source folder and a destination folder. However, the rest of the parameters will allow you to decide what to do when a file already exists in the destination folder or how to compare files. In this respect, you may use filters to include or exclude files from the copy. The comparison can be made on the basis of either on date, time and file size or content analysis.
Copy Changed Files is undoubtedly a very useful application, particularly if you frequently need to synchronize folder contents or back up your information.
