According to a recent study, if a Ten Forums member and Windows 10 user gives up with Windows and switches to Mac, leaving our forums and joining the Mac Forums, the average IQ increases on both forums.

@Lee, you are of course an exception, increasing the average on both camps

.

Interesting. . .I say that because today I decided to purchase another iMac; in this case it is a new Mac Mini bringing my Mac total to 3. Two of them have a windows OS installed in Boot Camp. . .ain't life fun when there are so many great toys out there in the wild to choose from. . .

. . .BTW. . .Happy New Year to you All. . .

Believe me guys. troubleshooting can get dicey in other areas. Imagine a half ton machine part and a wrong thread pitch on a 1/2" bolt and you find out about that only after final assembly with few hundred parts.
Than you may run into a 3 door machine relay logic control cabinet with few hundreds of relays, each one with 12 NO/NC mixed contacts. Miles of wires crisscrossing all over the place and no schematic. One of the wires doesn't make contact or is broken in unknown place. Troubleshoot that !!!

Reminds me of the time I had to track down a cross connection in a telephone exchange.

The installation guys had cut a cable and when they fanned out the individual wires into a snap-lock termination block, one of them jumped into its neighbour's position.

The problem with debugging is, One messpelling, one typo and Pffffft! It is hard, to find the typo, because our brain(not our eyes) sees what it expects to see, and not what is.
Did you notice I wrote mes-pelling instead of mis-spelling?

I spent an entire afternoon and some of the evening, trying to fix an issue with a TAFE assignment.

The problem was that a bracket was in the wrong place (the command was still valid syntactically so the compiler was happy).

Hi there

I'm hoping for a new build very soon - people should be back at work after Xmas and New year breaks. What I want especially is a fix for the progress bar when copying / moving files -- I know there's some 3rd party apps but Windows / File explorer is such an integral part of Windows that I don't want to have to get a 3rd party app for that.

Currently I'm using Dolphin in Linux (KDE's equivalent of file explorer) for doing the copy / move (SAMBA) but it's a bit silly to have to logon to a networked computer to perform simple tasks on a Windows machine !!!.

Cheers
jimbo

Hi,

Why not use TeraCopy for the time being ?

How does using linux to copy files, just to see progress, make sense over simply using a 3rd party program in windows that would do the job adequately until bug is fixed?

Good point,,, I'm using TeraCopy now and I bet I'll stick with it even after the bug is fixed.
