Use in Conjunction with XTree Gold

Let's assume you want to copy all files from a source folder to a separate backup target folder with XTreeGold while preserving the Long File Names.

  1. Invoke the LFNit filename backup process in the file window of the source folder by hitting Alt-'B'atch while highlighting *any* file, and entering "C:\TOOLS\LFNIT\LFNIT /x %3 /a /e /g" (where "C:\TOOLS\LFNIT\" is the path to your "LFNIT.EXE"). This creates the batch file "LFNRENEW.BAT" in the current folder.
  2. Tag all files (Ctrl+'T'ag) and perform the copy command (Ctrl+'C'opy) to a target folder of your choice.
  3. Simply e'X'ecute the file "LFNRENEW.BAT" in the target folder, this will perfectly restore the long names of all the copied files.
