Progress Indicators

These options control the progress indicators that Opus displays when copying or moving files, or for other file operations.

• Count files in folders before copying: The way file systems work is that you can only find out how many files a folder (and its sub-folders) contain by reading the folder contents and counting the files. Unfortunately we need to do this if we want to provide an accurate progress indication when copying folders. You might select a single folder that contains 10,000 files but unless Opus had counted its contents it would only see it as a single item. This option lets you control whether Opus counts files in folders before copying or not. Counting files can slow down the copy operation slightly, depending on the number of files involved and what drives you are copying from. You can choose to enable counting for only some drive types, all drives or none.
• Count files in folders before deleting: Similar to the option above, this controls whether Opus counts files in folders before deleting them. This only applies when not deleting to the recycle bin, as Windows displays its own progress dialog for recycle bin deletes.
• Delayed progress indicators: This option is used to stop Opus displayed progress indicators for very quick operations. The indicator for a function won't open at all if the function finishes within the specified time (in milliseconds).
• Show percent complete in progress bar titles: Opus will display the overall percent complete for a function in the title bar (on XP / Vista this means you can minimize the progress indicator and still keep an eye on the progress in the taskbar - on Windows 7 the progress is displayed directly in the taskbar icon and so this option isn't as useful).
