Taskmaster is a OneCommander utility to replace Explorer dialogs for file operations.

It uses Windows native APIs for Copy/Move operations and not hacks like some other copy/move replacements to speed-up operations. That means it won't break any speed records but it is as reliable as Explorer's operations.

Improvements over Explorer dialogs:

  • Ability to copy deep folder structures longer than 255 characters
  • Copied files and folders keep Created and Modified dates (Explorer creates folders on copy with a new date, ruining backups)
  • (Soon) Same theme/style as OC (including Dark theme that Explorer dialogs don't yet have)
  • (Soon) Prompts only once for elevation (Admin)

You arrived here because OneCommander crashed or froze in previous session

Renaming file

There is a bug in Windows that sometimes leads to program freezing when OC asks Windows to rename a file or folder
Several workarounds have been implemented but since I can't reproduce this issue it is not certain which one will fix the problem
To apply workaround open: Settings>Advanced and in Experimental section you will see

There are two ways to fix this:

  2. Open file C:\ProgramData\A-Volute\DellInc.AlienwareSoundCenter\Modules\ScheduledModules\Configurator\BlackApps.dat (you might need to paste the whole path in the Open Dialog because ProgramData is a hidden folder)
  3. Add onecommander.exe at the end of it and save
