In a window, I put 2 progress bars. The first one says "Files  
   remaining to be copied:" and the second one says "Copy progress:".  
   When a file is being copied, the second progress bar shows how many  
   bytes have already been copied. Then, the first progress bar is  
   incremented by one.

   My question: is my first progress bar supposed to count the actual  
   file or is it supposed to only count files when they have been  
   completely copied?

AFAIK, it should only count those that are complete.  I.e., it should
not go to 100% until the operation is 100% complete.

Ideally, you would scale the first bar by the size of the files
involved.  It is my understanding that a progress bar should primarily
reflect the elapsed time.  Of course, this is tricky and not often
done...(:-).
