Moving Files: Progress Unknown

Post by jstevens »

Have you noticed that upon moving files the dialog box does not inform you of the file being moved or % of completion.

The path from/to and total number of files to be moved are shown and that's about it.

Is there a setting tweak that needs to be done?

But there is a progress bar - both in the dialog and in the taskbar button - see The Slick Windows 7 File Copy Animation.
Best wishes,

Han,

I found out that on W7 Home Premium the dialog looks a little different. Although there is a dropdown arrow for "More Details". Setting this option did indeed display more information about the file(s) being moved/copied.

I wouldn't say you can set this option as with a windows tweak, but you are correct John. When you click on the more detail button, it provides all the details one needs for what is being moved/copied.

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.
