Feature: Show Percentage for when allocating files #281

Closed hl2guide closed 6 months ago

When allocating disk space for a file please show the percentage on the progress bar.

Windows will overwrite the allocated space with zeros as a security measure before it gives you access to the file. I don't think it's possible to get a progress response while it's doing that. If you want to avoid dealing with the wait of allocating a file, then I'd set "Enable sparse file allocation" in the Advanced options.
