Title: First file in folder
Post by: bw_van_manen on May 28, 2010, 12:10:44 PM
When copying a folder with large files, like a complete season of Lost, I would like to download the first file (or first episode) first. This can be done manually, but that's quite some work and I think it can easily be done automatically. Most folders have the files listed by name (usually including a number for music and series). If copy handler could copy the files by name this would be really helpful. Is there currently a order in witch the files are being copied? I can't find one, but maybe I missed something and there is actually some logic here that I miss.

CH currently uses order found while traversing directory (it usually means order in which files appeared in directory in the first place). This way it is usually faster (than when sorting by name), because of on-disk layout of data. It is possible to implement such a feature in the future - please file a feature request (see http://www.copyhandler.com/en/request-a-feature (http://www.copyhandler.com/en/request-a-feature)).
