DirGetSize not working with NTFS?

[Simpel]

Hi,

due to  (first post) and to my own experiences I don't think that I can use DirGetSize(destination folder) while copying.

Part of my script:

$pid = Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "Dircopy(' & $qpo & ',' & $zpo & ')"')
While 1
    If Not ProcessExists($pid) Then ExitLoop
    $zsize = DirGetSize($dest)
    $zprosize = Int($zsize / ($qsize / 100))
    GUICtrlSetData($zprozent,$zprosize) ;Refresh GUICtrlProgress
    GUICtrlSetData($kopiert,Round ($zsize / 1000, 0) & " KB von " & Round ($qsize / 1000, 0) & " KB kopiert")
    Sleep(1)
WEnd

Within some seconds the progress bar shows 100% and the size of the destination folder how it will be in the end. But it's still copying for seconds and minutes depending of the file size.

Any ideas to get the real size of the still copying folder?

I don't think you really want to know the folder size. I think that what you really want is a progress for that copy. Correct?

Try the >_LargeFileCopy UDF, it was what I could find with a quick search...

I want to know the folder size, too.

GUICtrlSetData($kopiert,Round ($zsize / 1000, 0) & " KB von " & Round ($qsize / 1000, 0) & " KB kopiert")

This means something like "34679 KB of 2362362 KB" copied.

Copy time heavily depends on average filesize and heavy subfolder nesting. Copying ten 100Mb files is much faster than one million 1Kb files.

So: size doesn't matter as much as the number of participants.
