Description and details

I was in the middle of of copying (large) files, not all together, one after another. After 4 or 5 of them, I could see all Teracopy windows open but no copy operation running and I ended up clicking "Strat now" on all of them one after another.
Now it seems that all new copy operations are on hold until I press "start now".
This never occured to me in the past. I am sure if I reboot it may go away but thats not a fix.

Using latest version (2.1)
Any test I should do?

How to reproduce

Simply copy a file.

deleting the "processes" file as described below fixed the issue for me

Now, when ever I try copying files with TeraCopy I have to explicitly click start, even if no other copying is in progress, even after many reboots.
Is there a registry key containing state or something which is bung?
Is there a work-around for this problem?

It is a lock file of some kind and there is a race condition that causes the file to stay after a process completes. maybe something appending while another process is removing a line.

i tried renaming the processes file not deleting and that works as well auto starts now. thanks

Thanks for the solution to this annoying problem that has bugged me for a few days

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
It seems that version 2.x has more problem with multiple processes dependency. First it was crashing when you have more than a few waiting processes and now with this little bug.
I was just about to buy the Pro version...

Yep solution suggested works indeed! thanks. I am not sure we should close this item since this is somehow a bug anyway ... could maybe the developer comment here? thanks

Found the solution

In C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\TeraCopy There is a file called processes delete that file. It looks like Teracopy is storing a list of what processes are in "queue" and sometimes it gets hung. I have tested this a few times and it looks like this is the culprit. Hope this helps.
If you are not in Vista/7 it should be in c:\documents and settings\\Application Data\TeraCopy

Latest version won't start automatically

Rebooting doesn't help either. Are there any options/switches that need to changed?
