Question marks in copy/move window

[Boudewijn]

This has always been strange and still is in 9.51:
During measuring/counting the number and size of files to be moved/copied, the window shows question barks in front of the numbers.

I guess just because the numbers do not fit in the window.
Is there a way to repair this?

Hi and welcome 2Boudewijn.

Hi,

when I copy a large amount of files (8GB in 21k files) there are questionsmarks shown in the copy dialog in front of the size numbers

e.g. it shows:
Totaler Platzbedarf: ?5.463.831.387 Bytes in ?21.279 Datei(en)

This happens while TC is still counting the files and their sizes.

HTH?

Isn't it more useful when I see the actual number rise and realize that it is going to be 'very big'... Now it tells me 'nothing'. And I can see on the changing numbers that it is still counting; I don't need a confusing and irritating question mark there.

Not always, sometimes the counting process is interrupted because "the computer has other things to do right now"

And an user may think the counting is already over in that shorter or longer pause.

Depends on hardware, maybe anti virus sw and connection speed, of course.
