[net.micro.mac] bug in new finder

adm@cbneb.UUCP (06/28/85)

Has anyone noticed the bug in the new finder when copying files?  The box
which says "files remaining to copy: #" never changes (using the
old system, the number would be decremented as each file was copied)!

In the old (v1) finders that I had, it would not decrement the file
count each time a file was copied. It would do it some of the time. It
seemed to depend on the size of the file. If you were copying a lot
of small files that all fitted in memory at the same time, it would
subtract that number from the number of files left to copy. With large
files it would just decrement the number when the file was copied.

The new finder seems to do what you said your old finder did. (I am using
an XL with 1Mb).

I miss PUT BACK too.

My finder does not do this.  It doesn't decrement after every file, though.
(Just after every batch of stuff copied.)

Just like the old finder I had...
