Public bug reported:
Problem is discussed at
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2440314 When copying a large
file, using Files (1.34.1-stable), to an external USB thumb drive, the
copy progress status will typically say 100% complete and 0" seconds"
while the file is still being written to the USB thumb drive (with some
thumb drives a user can see the activity light flashing until
completion). The amount of time that Nautilus sits there at 100% with 0
seconds left is truly remarkable. It must by 95% of the entire copy task
time. To the novice user the "100% and "0 seconds left" status message
leaves the expectation that the thumb drive can be removed at any time
(novice users will probably just yank the thumb drive out and later on
complain about corrupted files). I think this a serious usability issue.
This should be changed/fixed.
