Copy Manager

Copy Manager Panel

The Copy Manager copies media to one or more destinations with checksum verification, generating an MHL v1.1 manifest for each destination so the copy can be verified by post houses and downstream tools.

Adding Files

To add media to the copy queue:

• Click the Add Files icon at the bottom-left of the window

• Or drag and drop files or folders directly into the queue

Folders are added recursively, preserving their structure at the destination. The global destination is shown at the bottom-right of the window and defaults to your Desktop. Click it to choose a different destination folder.

Queue Columns

• Name - The source file name.

• Size - The file size.

• Status - Current state of the copy (queued, copying, verifying, complete, or error).

• Progress - Per-file copy progress.

• Destination - The output path for that file.

The header above the queue shows total elapsed time and the file count. Click the Start button at the top-right to begin copying.

Right-Click Menu

Right-click any item in the queue for additional options:

• Show Source In Explorer - Reveal the source file in the OS file browser.

• Show Output In Explorer - Reveal the copied output file.

• Show Dest. Folder In Explorer - Open the destination folder.

• Set Custom Destination - Assign a specific destination to the selected items, overriding the global destination.

• Select All - Select every item in the queue.

• Reset Selected - Return selected items to a queued state so they copy again.

• Remove Selected - Remove selected items from the queue.

• Remove Completed - Remove all finished items.

• Remove All - Clear the entire queue.

Toolbar

The bottom toolbar provides quick access to:

• Add Files - Add files or folders to the queue.

• Clear Completed - Remove all finished items from the queue.

• Remove Selected - Remove the currently selected items.

• Global Destination (bottom right) - Click it to choose a different destination folder.

Verification & MHL

Each file is hashed at the source, copied, then hashed again at the destination and compared to confirm an exact match. When a copy job completes, an MHL v1.1 manifest is written to the root of each destination, listing every file with its size, checksum, and copy timestamps. Copying to multiple destinations produces a separate manifest per destination.
