Joe requested that I add an option to automatically copy files once Jcopy finished checking the source and destination.  I have to admit that I like this new option VERY much!

This feature is only available if you use profiles, as discussed below. It is located near the bottom of the Miscellaneous tab of the Program Options:

 

Adding that feature was not too difficult, but I was concerned about how dangerous it was. If you use the option to synchronize files, Jcopy will delete any mismatched files or folders on the destination drive. The first thing I did was to put in a delay, so you could cancel out if you decided you didn't want to copy the files. But I felt that was insufficient.

Jcopy stores each profile that you use in the registry. If you have already used a profile twice before to copy files, then it will display a new dialog box after you check the files. It will give you 20 seconds to abort the copy, otherwise it will proceed:

If you change a profile, then it resets the usage counter to zero. This means Jcopy won't automatically copy the files until you have used the profile twice. This allows you to check that the profile works correctly before Jcopy starts using it.
