asynchronous file copy

[doggrant]

Hi nikhilqt,

I certainly thing your suggestion is the way to go, although i'm now thinking the bottleneck in my app may be where i sporn out to an external process to extract some files, before the copy. Doing some tests on my code to confirm this, and then i'll have to do a similar thing with that.

regards,

David

I realised that the GUI freeze was caused by copying a large number of small files in serial, and not because of copying 1 large file. Therefore after copying each small file, I call QApplication:rocessEvents(), to process any events in the queue. This improved the app's responsiveness.

Now now i'm checking my app for other occurances of this.

cheers for everyones help.

David
