Hey there, my situation is this, i will be checking if the user plugged in an external usb hard drive (checking the label of the drive + some other checks) and then i will be copying one directory from there to the local hard drive. Files in that directory will vary in size from 1 mb to 1.5 gig in some instances (not always). It currently takes around 5 minutes to copy from e:\myFolder to c:\myFolder if i do it using windows explorer. I have not decided how i will copy the files as it will depend on how i can get that progress bar or an indication of how long it will take. My idea so far is to use File::Find as i can atleast give the user an indication of what is happening at the end of copying a file. What do you think?
