Droopy,
I like your lib and the background transfer is great for files. Is there a way to make this work for whole folders or whole directories. What I am trying to do is copy the my documents and all sub folders from my users to a backup location. If I can do this in the background then I can set it up on a schedule and they will not know that it has happen.

Background just copy one file at each time, you must create your own function.
You can call SearchFiles function, that call Background function

The next release of SearchFiles can search for Subdir if you want

Code: Select all

;- SUPER PRATIQUE !!
;/ SubDir specify if you want scan SubDirectories

ProcedureDLL SearchFilesInit(Path.s,Mask.s,SubDir) ; SubDir = 1 / 0 without SubDir
  
  ;- Return the number of files found in the LinkedList
  
  ; Create or Clear the LinkedList
  Static Flag.l
  If Flag=0
    NewList Fichiers.s()
    Flag=1
  Else
    ClearList(Fichiers())
  EndIf
  
  SearchFiles(Path,Mask) ; Car le répertoire lui même n'est pas scanné sinon
  If SubDir
    SearchDirectory(Path,Mask)
  EndIf
  
  ProcedureReturn CountList(Fichiers()) 
EndProcedure
