Determining Progress Bar Increments

[momar33]

I have a program that copies pictures from a flash drive to the My Pictures directory.

My problems is that right now i do 2 search queries for each type of file, one to determine how many files of each type and one in the copy function.

Does anyone know a good way to determine how many increments my progress bar will need without having to do a query to determine the number of files?

I could easily remove the first query to speed up the program, but then it is impossible to determine the number of increments that will be needed. I could be copying 20 files or 400 files.

The intent of the program is to be used with an SD card, so if there is a way to determine number of files on disk, that may be close enough.

Any help is appreciated.

For this kind of usage, I typically do a _FileListToArray() then use that as a dynamic feed into a calculation function to determine Progress Bar "stepping" through the percentages.

If i understand you correctly then the problem with that is that it takes far longer to do the _FileListToArray then it does to copy the files which leaves the program appearing as though it is doing nothing for a few seconds. Then it copies all the files so quickly that there is no need for a progress bar.

I want the progress bar to show the progress of the search and the copy.

BTW i am using slightly different method for the file search.

Here is my code.
