All,
This is sort of a continuation of a previous post of mine. The code below
basically reads a registry key to get a path to a folder and it watches for
files created in that folder (only created). It also reads another registry
key for another path which is a destination path. When a file shows up, it
copies it off.
It actually works well . . . For small duty stuff but if for example I were
to copy in multiple small files simulteneously into the source folder, it
only copies the first one it sees. It sorta peeters out after that, and I
don't think it continues on copying.
Also, if I drop a large file -- 500MB or higher -- into the folder, it
starts copying, but if I drop another file in the folder during this time,
it doesn't pick it up. I don't think it even finished copying the large
file.
Just wanted to see if y'all could give me some direction/advice.
TIA,
Pair
