Now is when Notezilla will help you. You just have to press the “Ctrl+F” key from within a sticky note. A search box will automatically open wherein you can type the text you are looking for. The search results will highlight in the note. You can even right-click inside a sticky note and select the “Find” option to do the same.
The results filter as and when you keep typing.

Here is a short video incorporating this feature:

If the word you are looking for is repeated several times in the note, click on the right-facing arrow, and the next place where it appears highlights.

Notezilla thus saves a lot of your time and efforts on searching for text.

Copy only files newer than the day/date you want in Windows using a Robocopy alternative replacement tool

We often spend a lot of our precious time in copying the same set of files every day or every few days to take backups. It would be very convenient if we could copy only those files that have been newly added or recently modified after a particular day or date.

This is a tedious task if done manually. Therefore let us look at how this is possible using Robocopy and an alternative software Copywhiz, which does the same thing in a much user friendly manner.

What is Copywhiz?

Enhance your file-copy experience with Copywhiz as it lets you to have more flexibility & more control over the file copying and backup process. Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:

Steps to copy newer files based on date

Using Robocopy

The Robocopy command Robocopy Source [Destination] /maxage:n (where n can be the number of days or date of format YYYYMMDD) copies all source files that are newer than the date specified.

For Ex: To copy all the files in the directory ‘E:\data’ that have been added or modified on or after 1st JAN 2018 to the folder ‘E:\backup’, the following command line will be used:

Robocopy / E:\data E:\backup/MAXAGE:20180101

However, these commands are quite confusing and difficult to understand. It is, therefore, advisable to use Copywhiz, which is faster and more straightforward.

Using Copywhiz:

Copying and filtering files based on their size in Windows using a Robocopy alternative replacement tool

During our file copy, we would sometimes not want files that are too large, or sometimes we may require only large files to be copied. Whatever may be the case, the basic idea is to select the files you want to copy only based on their sizes.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could do that without much time and effort? Instead of copying all the files and later deleting the ones not required, you can just skip copying files not required altogether.

This post will show you how to copy files only of the size (small or large) you want, allowing you to exclude files not needed. Let us look at how this is possible with Windows Robocopy tool and an alternative software Copywhiz.

What is Copywhiz?

Enhance your file-copy experience with Copywhiz as it lets you to have more flexibility & more control over the file copying and backup process. Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:

Copy only new or modified files
Easily pick files by name, extension, folder etc from bunch of folders
Automatically organize files based on file attributes and metadata
Copy files to multiple folders/computers
Copy files from multiple folders and paste them at once
Sync files between source and destination
Pick files from multiple folders and compress in single .zip file
Schedule file backups
Several more hidden nuggets designed to make your file-copy task easier.

Steps to copy files based on size

Using Robocopy

The Robocopy command Robocopy source [destination] /max:n lets you set the maximum limit on a file size. Which means files larger than the mentioned size would not be copied.

Similarly, the command Robocopy source [destination] /min:n lets you set the minimum file size limit so that files smaller than the mentioned size would not be copied.

For e.x: to exclude files larger than 10 KB when copying files from “projects” folder to “backup” folder, you will apply the following command :

Robocopy d:\temp\projects e:\backup /xf max:10kb

Similarly for ex: to exclude files smaller than 10 KB when copying files from “projects” folder to “backup” folder , you will apply the Command :

Robocopy d:\temp\projects e:\backup /xf min:10kb

However, these Robocopy commands are quite difficult to understand and use by ordinary users. Only system administrators find it easy.

Let me show you a more comfortable and straightforward method.

Using Copywhiz

1. Select files using Windows Explorer, right-click on them and choose Copywhiz->Copy from the menu as shown below :

All the required files will be copied successfully.

4. Click on “OK” and then “Paste Now”. Your files are instantly.

Conclusion

As you have seen above, when copying files using Copywhiz, you can exclude or include specific types of files/folders. You gain more control over what is copied. With a few clicks, you complete big file copy tasks & save manual effort.

You can avoid files that are not required, like those files that occupy too much space and only pick essential files.

Silently copy files in Windows without showing error popup message box

One thing about Windows file copy is that it will continuously need your attention if there are duplicate files if a file is in use or if there is any other error.

When you are seriously working on an important task (while a background file copy is going on) and suddenly, if an error popup box appears, the whole flow of work gets disturbed. We have to stop working and attend to these messages. This is why you would wish to stop those messages from popping up or let the error get resolved silently without disturbing your work.

Here I will show how you can use Copywhiz to suppress all the message prompts, error boxes and continue with file copy. Later you can verify the error log to check if there are any errors. It is beneficial when taking backups and when you wish to copy files silently.

What is Copywhiz?

Enhance your file-copy experience with Copywhiz as it lets you to have more flexibility & more control over the file copying and backup process. Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:

Steps to silently copy files in Windows

The most common message you get is that a file already exists with the same name. Copywhiz can replace duplicate files automatically once pre-configured. Also, it will show you a list of errors (if any) after the file copy operation is complete.
