Robocopy's /MT option disables /NP option
There seems to be a bug in the Win7 version of Robocopy: the "Multi Threded" options seems to disable "No Progress" option:robocopy c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\in c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\out /nfl /np/mt /e /dcopy:t /r:0 /w:0 /log:Robo-Test.txtLog:

The only way I found to fix this is NOT to use the /MT option, e.g.:robocopy c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\in c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\out /nfl /np /e /dcopy:t /r:0 /w:0 /log:Robo-Test.txtLog:

Is there a way to use the /MT option without filling the log with "100%"s?

This problem is still present in Windows 7 SP1 20 months after "it should be fixed soon"...
Will it be fixed soon, relative to NOW?
