I believe this issue still exists today in a fully updated 13.10. nautilus --version GNOME nautilus 3.8.2
unity --version unity 7.1.2 The copy progress window seldom or never appears on my install neither on the desktop nor in alt-tab super-1. Not on any of the four virtual desktop spaces either. The right-click show copy window (or whatever it says on English-language installs) does not do anything. This has on several occasions made me think the copying was finished so I deleted the source files and only found out about my misstake after being greeted with the "error while copying" dialog window when the file that is apparently being copied has been removed. Interestingly enough the side-bar seems to appear and shake the file manager icon when the copying has finished, not sure how useful that is on its own though, and I don't know if that notification stays on screen if I am AFK or just looking away for a moment. Also copying seems to be very taxing on my computer -(i7 CPU with samsung 530 SSD) the UI becomes somewhat unresponsive while copying large files to backup USB-disks. This could possibly affect the main issue of the progress window not being displayed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887821 Title: "Show copy dialog" right click launcher entry doesn't work (on nautilus copy) Status in Unity: Fix Released Status in Unity 5.0 series: Won't Fix Status in Unity 6.0 series: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “unity” source package in Precise: Invalid Bug description: Impact: the nautilus copy dialog don't get properly focussed by unity Test Case: - log into an unity session - copy a not too small file (so you have time to interact with the copy dialog) - minimize the copy dialog - right click on the corresponding unity-launcher's icon, and pick "show copy dialog" -> the dialog should be displayed Regression testing: Check that there is no focus issue with that dialog and the launcher ------ While copying a large (8 gig) file across an SMB network, I minimized it. The right click on the Nautilus Unity bar showed a "Show copy dialog" item. Clicking on that item did nothing. The only way to get the dialog back up was to open one of the two minimized Nautilus windows and then minimize the one on top. After that minimize, then the copy dialog was displayed on top of the other Nautilus window. I couldn't find any way to get the copy dialog back on screen without clicking around somewhat aimlessly displaying and minimizing Nautilus windows until it appeared. The "Show copy dialog" right-click menu appeared to have no affect.
