Copy

From Forklift Wiki

To copy the item(s) selected in the active pane to the folder opened in the opposite pane:

• click the toolbar icon
• select File > Copy to from the menu
• use the cmd-c keyboard command to copy the item(s) to the clipboard, then switch to the second pane with TAB and use cmd-v to paste
• copy is also available in the item list context menu
• the commander style keybinding set allows the use of F5 for 'copy to'.

In the case of a large amount of data copied, the Activity Viewer will pop up to show progress of the transfer. While the copy is carried out, you can continue working in ForkLift, since longer processes are run in the background by default.

[edit] Conflict management

In case of conflict during a copy operation, ForkLift will ask whether you want to:

• replace the file or folder,
• merge the folders,
• skip the file or folder, or
• resume a previous transfer,

whichever action applies.

Please note that Merge is not yet available on local folders.
