Progress bar direction while copy/move operations

[miskox]

I already suggested this in 2003 (my first post I guess) - no luck then:

http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=8331#8331

I have been thinking of this for a very long time. I think it would be nice to have a progress bar (when copying, moving...) go from the same direction where the copy/move/etc is taking place. For example: if I copy lots of files (or 1 big file) from the right panel to the left panel I would like to see the progress bar moving from right to left so I can see from which side I am copying/moving/etc.

Of course this could be enabled/disabled via settings.

Any official comments?

While this would be possible for my owner-drawn foreground progress bar, it doesn't seem to be supported by the Windows progress bar (used in the background transfer manager or small background copy window). It would be strange to have right to left progresss bar in only one place. And there are also no other programs doing this, which would certainly be confusing for many people.

BTW: But would be nice Gimmick, as (individual) ''Innovation Special Option'' (as new settings category?)
- maybe with <<::::::: directory arrows :::::::>>

Plus: Speed Down/Up Option like in FastCopy

ProgressBar1.RightToLeft = Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes
ProgressBar1.RightToLeftLayout = True
