The problem is easier to understand if you would give a little consideration
for the life and business interests symbolized by the end users environment
your application has been invited to function within.

In short human courtesy is a well practised technique of asking first what
action is most appropriate for any given interface or any particular
instance... a simple initial system check for a prior instance of your code
shows continuity of the integrity of your code with a courteous and logical Y/N
offer of choice. You would avoid the imposition of arrogance that your code
immediately grabs CPU clock and system resources without any prior knowledge of
the impact on the end users business needs "at that time".

Surely a better choice to please the user than to piss them off?

So when a K3b x3 copy run is performed, your running code is obscured by a
subsequent instance of the same code preventing the user from remaining in
control of the copy process (their process in fact). The behaviour of your code
is in conflict with reasonable and proven conventional behaviours of
human/machine interface engineering. Workarounds, your descriptive response,
can only be tolerated under certain extenuating conditions. For example, in
extremis, Apollo 13; by using a team of engineers at JPL, a workaround was
discovered using insulation tape, cardboard, polythene sheeting, pvc piping, in
combination used to convert the square format carbon dioxide filter from the
LEM to fit the round format air filtration housing of the command module in
order to save the lives of the crew!

The differing designs were afterwards recognized as problematic. Changes were
made, so that future workarounds would be unnecessary and so that either would
fit in the command module air filtration unit in all subsequent missions.

Workarounds are not in themselves wrong, but they cannot be tolerated for what
they represent in design, risk, or inconvenience to the user!

I sincerely hope the nature of the problem presented by your code in its
current form is now clear? Please allow for best practice?

Sincere thanks for appropriate code changes to meet this "multiple copy
behaviour - independent of users default settings as an issue of Best
Practice".
