When an error occur, I ask the user "The file “name” has not been copied (error: "+File.LastErrorCode+"). What do you want to do?". He can choose "Retry", "Skip" or "Stop". If the destination file exists (I check before copying), I ask "The file “name” already exists.". The choices are "Replace", "Don't replace" and "Stop". I added a checkbox for "Apply to all" (well, the "dialog" is in the main window, at its bottom). In my opinion, the fact that the user chose "Replace", "Don't replace" or saw that an error occurred allows the progress bar to count that file.

Thank you for your answer.

I'd count them only after a successful copy attempt (if an error occurs, a dialog should occur, and the process should probably quit, as there's likely a file system problem that needs to be rectified (by the user) ; exception: a file-sharing error.) Otherwise your progressbar could get out of sync; though this would be what I consider a 'cosmetic bug'; nothing earth-shakingly fatal!

Hello,

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?

Happy new year to everyone.
