maybe i clic it to movie the dialog windows or to put focus on TC application !
i'm an old long user of TC since the windows 3.11 release !, for the history, i came to tc when i migrate from amiga commodore to PC where they are diskmanager and directory opus there.
Programmable, even a simple gray-colored area can indicate a mouse click.Michael REMY wrote:is this area really "actionable!", it does not look like a button or something to click
Here it is the not-editable text box with the two file names, I guess (never tried that myself)
Can somebody explain it better, please?
Negative count of files and size while copying
I am using TC9.22a and today I tried to copy about 950GB.
I noticed that the counted files and the counted MB have a minus sign in front of them.
Why?

Re: Negative count of files and size while copying; they show a minus sign in copy progress dialog
Do you mean the numbers shown in the copy progress dialog?
These are negative when you click on them once,
to show the REMAINING files and bytes to be copied.
Click again to see the already copied files and bytes.

Syncing 2 folder and I have negative Size. Is that correct?
Syncing 2 folder and I have negative values. Is that correct? I've posted the print screen: https://postimg.cc/Dm68SGs0

Re: Negative Size. Is that correct?
This is not a bug.
Clicking on the numbers toggles between files/volume copied and remaining. It's not an obvious feature - triggering threads like this one. To be honest, it annoys me a little bit that it's not obvious which mode the dialog is in. It would be easier if the dialog was made larger, making enough space to show both files/volume copied and remaining.

How else would you show remaining?

As I said: A dialog with more height would allow to show more information, e.g. in another line.
Now I know this would probably require additional translations (the user needs to know what the numbers mean), but this shouldn't prevent you from doing it.

There is no need for another line. Dialog in foreground has three buttons, so it's enough to move file number to the second button. Something like that:
Code: Select all
Copied: 300/1900 2 573,9 M / 3 856,3 M
[ Pause ] [ Cancel ] [ Background ]
Remaining: -600/1900 -1 249,2 M / 3 856,3 M

My suggestion was/is to show both pieces of information simultaneously, eliminating the need to switch between them. Not adding another line makes the dialog even more crammed. IMO, the dialog is already too small when dealing with long paths and/or filenames. Makes sense to make it larger anyway.
Still, your suggestion would avoid the existing confusion about which numbers are shown.

Re: Syncing 2 folder and I have negative Size. Is that correct?
That would be redundant and might be distracting or misleading, IMO.
There are some pieces of archaic code there. F5/F6 dialogs started with 3 buttons and was 363 pix long. Now it has 5 buttons and is 560 pix long, but filename is still shortened to 25 characters and no extension visible:
But now it can be 2 lines and have 48 characters in filename, even when using Chinese symbols:F6 dialog wrote:Rename/Move "25 characters in filename..." to
Copy progress discussed here was 455 pix long and now is a little bit longer (469 pix), so it's now shorter than F5/F6 dialog and can be made also 560 pix long. Now it may skip path and try to show the whole filename, but it still hides extension.F6 dialog wrote:Rename/Move
"A filename shortened to 48 characters, then dots...ext" to
