Suggested Enhancements to the Copy / Move Process
- Warn the user up front if there is insufficient space in the receiving folder for the source files. Display available space and required space in the warning message. Applies to move process too, when destination folder is on a different storage volume.
- Before copying even the first file in a batch, check the whole batch for any collisions, and get user instructions regarding overwrite / skip / rename-source / rename-original / cancel. Applies to move process too.
In addition to the currently displayed percentage bars, please update the following values each second while copying / moving ..
- Files copied, files remaining.
- Bytes copied, bytes remaining.
- Time taken, time remaining.
- Bytes copied per second.
