Yes, that's a good idea. When a file fails to copy, pop up the "These files failed to copy" dialog, but when another file fails, just add it to the list in the existing dialog. User can click "OK" which closes the dialog, and if more files fail, another one pops up. Small problem though: what happens if the user clicks OK, without noticing that another file was added to the list just before he closed the dialog? Maybe a safeguard should be added that no less than N seconds may pass from the time the last file was added to when the user clicks OK. - Ambroz ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
