Hi,
I'm often using Beyond Compare to copy folders full of large files (multi-GB.) Here I've noted that the progress report on file copy is a little confusing: The display "done / total" (e.g. "3.2 GB / 4.7 GB") goes up to maximum ("4.7 GB / 4.7 GB"), then stays there for a long time before moving to the next file.
Watching memory usage it seems that the counting-up is done as long as BC is loading the source file into memory, then while emptying the memory (writing the file to target) the count doesn't change any more.
Could this be changed? If needs be, the other way round would appear more useful to me (stay at zero while loading-to-memory, then count while writing-to-target) but I guess counting the total (50% progress would mean the file is fully loaded, but nothing has been written yet) would be optimal.
Regards
