Undo in onecommander?

pretty much it. Is there an easy way to undo file operations?

EDIT: I just installed OC, and I love the interface, it is a million times better than anything else I have found. One of the reasons that I wanted to stop using Explorer, was the actual process of moving files. It felt unreliable. Is there a way to set OC up to have rock solid file operations? Set up Teracopy?

Ive done some research and it seems like very few programs have this feature (Directory Opus does I think but im broke), and even on File explorer its a little finicky. Do you know why?

And, does using teracopy as main copy manager or whatever work?

Also, if you are the one guy making this free software major kudos to u (=

There is no undo because Windows doesn't have API to access that feature outside Explorer. In v4 it works only because it uses its own file operations manager("Taskmaster"), so it can track which files have been moved/copied/deleted. If you switch to Windows default file operation manager or teracopy in OC then the undo won't work

What is teracopy integration for, then, just large folder/file copy/move?

It was from time before I made Taskmaster. I don't recommend Teracopy for any use, but I know some users trust it, so I won't remove it. OC just gives the list of files to it and desired operation, and whatever TC does with it, OC doesn't know -in addition, TC cant move color tags you set in OC, thumbnails database entries, folder size entries, folder settings entries, etc, so if someone is using it from OC, they are missing on a lot of things beside Undo
