New "Copy All Data" Feature

Frank Linton uses this program to collect bee sound data. He analizes this data on a differnt computer. To do this he needs to copy the data from his XO to a flash drive then from his flash drive to his computer. I think he uses linux commands to cut all data from the data folder and paste it to his flash drive. Then he copies over the catalog.xml file with a blank one so timelapse doesn't think the data is still there. That whole posess can be very confusing and time consuming for him.

To solve this problem I added a new "Copy All Data" button. When clicked, the button pops up a create new folder window. Frank, or any user, can use the create new folder window to navigate to their flash drive, type in a folder name, and push copy. When they push copy all of the TimeLapse data in the data folder is copied into the new folder with the folder name they choose. Frank can use this in congunction with the "Delete All Data" button to meet his needs. He can use the "Copy all Data" button to copy the data to the flash drive. Then he can use the "Delete All Data" button to free up space on the XO so he can collect more data.

This is what it looks like:

(I will put screenshot here soon.)
