You're right. If I double click on a pdb file (created by EaseUs) on a computer that has EaseUs installed on it, it opens in Windows Explorer. But if I try it on another computer that doesn't have EaseUs installed, it won't open it. It really is Explorer opening the file, not the EaseUs app. I looked in the registry for what kind of magic it could be doing to make that happen but didn't see how it's done. Whatever it is, it's not the standard HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf registry key. Must be some kind of extension added to Explorer. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

Of course it's an extension. And no, I didn't have one iota of "hope" this would even be possible without said third-party software.
I still prefer having a plain copy of the individual files--nothing will change that. That way, anything that can read NTFS will be able to read my backup. One less thing that can go wrong, really. Just how resilient is EaseUs to corruption in its own files?

I haven’t had any problems with it yet. My wife is constantly losing files and I’ve been able to recover them all so far. Just had to reload my C: drive from backup because it wouldn’t boot (after several attempts to fix it). It restored and booted right away. Just one issue minor issue with Windows that I had to fix after the restore, which I can’t blame on EaseUs.

I would get a new sourcedrive immediately. It has bad sectors.
Unless it's an SSD of course.

What do you make of the part where, if I copy from that same source drive across my LAN instead of locally, there's no error or even any sort of slowdown whatsoever?
If the source drive had bad sectors, then I don't see how copying across the LAN would change anything.

I missed the part where it works over the LAN. You can disregard my post completely.
But have you checked how deep your directory structure is?
The length of the path might be up to 32k characters long in NTFS, but the Explorer doesn't support more than 260, and if you do it over the LAN the path is often shorter

Large file, takes a long time, but copying doesn't really count as "activity" so...
Is your computer shutting down USB ports when it deems them inactive?
|
|
|
|
|
I can copy much larger files without any issue.
Besides...any data that's still passing through the bus ought to count as activity.

You expect the computer to make sense? You funny.

There is no specific Python forum at the moment. You can use Quick Answers[^] instead.

When I was 7 and all into the Monkeys and had heard some Beatles, being the little one among many siblings, I was with em all visiting the eldest who had moved out to So Cal. While they all "chewed the fat"  I was thumbing through his record collection and came across a curious record that was shaped like a stop sign and had the most motley disrespective looking lads on the cover. "Through the past darkly" was the record and when I got to honkey tonk woman, well this corn fed punk from St. Paul was to never be the same again.

Here we go: Petwant Automatic Pet Feeder with Video Monitoring and Smart App | Ebuyer.com[^]
On the surface, it's a good idea - ish - for people who don't actually want to interact with their pets: they can go away and feed them remotely from the Seychelles, or a bangin' club in Tenerife.
But ... then you spot what Caroline noticed: the camera can't actually see the food dish, so you have no idea if they are hungry. This (and the rather indifferent software) may be why the newer version has the camera removed.
