in tc8.0beta13 copy progress bar flaw is back

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

in tc8.0beta13 copy progress bar flaw is back

Post by *GeminiAlpha »

in earlier beta fixed (dont know which). While copying large amount of files, overwriting only newer ones, the upper progress bar becomes & stays at 100% as soon as 1 file is copied and never disappears until the end of total copy process. tested in 32bit vista.

Clarification:
It looks like this:
The upper copy bar is not cleared after A file is copied, but is sleared only as soon as the next file is copied. So...
When i.e. 100 files are qeued for copying and only #2 is valid for copying (is a younger file valid for overwrite) the upper copy bar is filled up to 100% during the copy proces of this 1 file.
During the checking proces of the next 98 files, the upper bar is and stays 'filled' and at 100% until all the files are checked until the end of the copy proces. Because no more files are copied the upper bar doesn't change.
In my opinion the upper bar should be cleared after the copy of each file.

I hope this example clarifies what I meant in my msg.

Not a bug - both bars are now updated only every 100 milliseconds, with the value which is just current then. Therefore the upper bar will only show something when copying large files. This is done for speed reasons, updating the bar for each single file in TC 7.56a was causing a big slowdown.
