Project Overview
NeathCopy is a WPF-based Windows utility focused on improving how users copy and move files. The project explores file-system performance, desktop usability, operation feedback, and Windows workflow integration. It was designed as a practical tool rather than a simple demo, with attention to speed, usability, and real-world file handling scenarios.
Copy and move workflow for everyday Windows usage.
C#
Clear visual feedback during active file operations.
WPF
Background execution without freezing the interface.
.NET Framework
Support for handling large folder structures.
Windows API
Performance-oriented file enumeration and copy logic.
Threading
Practical utility design beyond a UI prototype.
File I/O
Problem Solved
Standard Windows copy operations can be limited when users need stronger feedback, better control, or improved performance with large folders and many small files. NeathCopy addresses that gap by creating a custom copy workflow with clearer progress information, better operation visibility, and engineering decisions focused on performance and reliability.

Technical Highlights
Outcome / Value
NeathCopy demonstrates practical Windows desktop engineering, file-system work, performance awareness, and UI/UX design for a real utility. It is valuable as a portfolio project because it shows the ability to build useful software that interacts with the operating system and solves a familiar user problem.
