What am I copying?

Submitted by gointern on June 20, 2008 to Usability

Is there enough information on copy file window?

Add file name? Maybe a pause button? Could move operation skip files if there is a problem with them.

Not fixed

I think it can already skip files with problem, though pause will be a good addition!

Pause is a great idea! I've missed it many times. As for displaying the name of the file being copied, it's an obvious requirement. I don't understand how it isn't there... +1

pause sounds great, but I suspect any hardware will support it

No file name but "43.7 MB"!

"44 MB" would be not enough information for human beings. ;)

Pause and skip are much needed. SuperCopier2 has all those features, but integrating it in default Windows should have been done in XP already.

yep agreed on pause anf file name to be shown +1

I think this needs to be at least medium. I've just copied a few files one at at a time (eg. three of these dialogs open) and cancelled 2 of them because they were all slowing each other down - now I don't know which file is the one being copied/moved until it's complete - which takes a while for multi-gig files...
