As Dvorak mentions, Vista's file transfer methods are terrible in more than
one way. Examples:
You try to copy a folder. It says, not necessarily at the beginning, "Do
you want to merge these folders?" It should check for mergeable folders at
the start of the transfer. About five minutes later, when it comes to a
duplicate file, it says "Do you want to replace $File1 with $File2?" Again,
it should check for ALL of these criteria before moving/copying anything,
right at the beginning. I usually copy a multi-GB folder and leave for a
while after clicking "Yes to all" on a prompt. I come back later to find
that my files have not yet copied and there is yet another prompt. In
conclusion, when I move a file, it will make the "done" sound, but then wait
at the end of the loading bar for a few seconds.
MS, please hear my cries and fix this. Remember to vote for this suggestion
if you agree.
