IMHO one of the annoying differences between Mac OS9 & OSX is the fact that when using OS9 if one was batch processing files into a folder, if that folder was open on the desk top it would constantly update as each file was saved into the folder. In OSX this does not happen - the only way one can see how many files have been processed is by shutting and re-opening the folder.
I see that this also happens with "Item info" on mounted drives when selected via < View - View Options >. I can empty a drive but it only updates that info when I unmount the drive and then re-mount it.
Well the answer has come from Rod Wynn Powell in the form of a link

Neat little script called "Finder Refresher" which works with both folders and also drives as data is being transferred. Have been running it with Mac OSX 10.3.3. without a glitch and cannot detect any slowing of data transfer
So my thanks to R W-P for his ever welcome intervention.
