• Time-based: Every 10 seconds maximum (reasonable progress updates)
• File-based: After every file completion (unchanged for progress tracking)
• Aggressive flush: Still uses reflection + OS-level flush for reliability
� PERFORMANCE BENEFITS:
• Minimal I/O interruptions during large file processing
• Maximum throughput for bulk operations
• Reduced CPU overhead from frequent flushing
• Still provides reasonable progress updates every 10 seconds
� EXPECTED RESULTS:

• Enhanced progress calculation logic for better user experience
• Maintained existing progress event structure for compatibility
• Fixed CompressedLength access timing issue in previous commit
Now zip operations show proper 'Processing file 3 of 10' style progress
with both collection and individual file progress bars.
� BUG FIX:
• Fixed InvalidOperationException: 'Length properties are unavailable once an entry has been opened for writing'
• Added try-catch block around entry.CompressedLength access
• Use uncompressed size as fallback when CompressedLength is not available
• Ensures zip operations complete successfully without errors
✅ SOLUTION:
• CompressedLength property is only available after entry stream is fully closed
• Added graceful fallback to prevent operation failures
• Maintains accurate progress reporting and metrics collection
• Preserves all zip functionality while fixing the access timing issue
The zip archive creation now works reliably for all file types and sizes.
