RichCopy is a file copying utility program for Windows developed by Ken Tamaru of Microsoft Corporation that was discontinued in 2010.[1] It is multi-threaded uses a graphical user interface (GUI), in contrast to many competing tools that are single-threaded and/or use a command-line interface (CLI).[2]

Features

[edit]
  • Supports multiple, simultaneous file transfers (via multi-threaded implementation), which may reduce the time required for to transfer a set of files
  • Provides both CLI and GUI
  • Via GUI, can generate CLI commands to repeat the actions performed in the GUI.[3]

Criticisms

[edit]
  • Bugs not fixed before support was discontinued remain; the utility is best utilized by experienced users who know how to verify that copy operations have completed successfully without errors[4]
  • The utility is not supported by Microsoft.[2] The program has not been updated since 2009, despite numerous users requesting bug fixes
  • Duplicates Robocopy functionality

Limitations

[edit]

The utility will not copy open files.[5] A competing tool, GS RichCopy 360, can copy open files.[6]
