In an MSBuild task, you can set the overall verbosity, but what I’d really like to do is set the Verbosity of just the ‘Copy’ command. It prints out a line for every file it’s copying in the “normal” verbosity setting, which in my case is thousands of overly-detailed lines.

I don’t see any documentation for such an attribute on the Copy task, so I’m wondering if there’s another way… or if people just ditch the built in copy task and use robocopy with their own flags.

    You can write your own Copy task, adding an optional Verbosity parameter.
