Currently Copy Handler is a small tool, designed to make copying and moving data easier (or at least in some cases faster) and with greater control than standard copying in Windows system.
This article brings closer the goals that marks the future of this program, since it won't always be only a small tool.
Some more or less precised plans
Copy Handler as I see it, should always be very small, fast and very reliable tool that just makes its work done. However there are some things that I think should be added/modified in the program to make it much, much better. Some of them are listed below ([dev] - development visible changes):
- [dev] splitting the core functionality of Copy Handler to the separate library, so the copy/move part could be called from command line or any separate program,
- widen the list of supported operating systems - especially Linux; separating the core functionality to a separate library should help with this,
- widen the functionality of the program to support backups,
- add plugin support, so CH could do almost anything you would want,
- add unicode support for the program, so there won't be any problems with unsupported paths.
Copy Handler project milestones
The list below describes the major steps towards making CH a better software. It is of course subject to change at any time. Also there won't be any planned dates or something, since it would depend on the amount of free time I would have.
Version 1.3
- [dev] fully integrate current project with libicpf library (and removing the modules that are being replaced),
- [dev] partial separation(at least) of the core functionality to the external dll,
- fixing some most commonly reported issues related to the program.
Version 1.5
- full separation of the core engine functionality to the external dll,
- initial version for linux (preliminary console only version) and introducing a Windows console programs for controlling tasks from command line.
Version 2.0
- full unicode support for the program,
- full version for (at least) Windows and Linux operating systems (core engine+console programs+gui programs),
- preliminary plugins support with already implemented backup functionality.
