What I would like to do is when the user clicks the 'Export' button, a ProgressWheel becomes Visible, then we run the Thread to copy yhe images to the Desktop, then make the ProgressWheel.Visible = False;
That's a good idea.
I've read somewhere that you cannot put the CopyFileTo into a thread, as these still operate in the main thread. Is this correct?
No, it operates in whatever thread you call it from. However, it does not yield during the copy.
But that shouldn't matter too much for your application -- it means that the progress wheel may only update between files, but that should still be often enough for the user to see that it's working. A progress bar might be even better.
