Title:
Copying remaining time estimate is not accurate when doing multiple
copies
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you copy two files (or two set of files) from or to the same disk
separately, so that you have two copying progress bars and estimates
and one copying process is dealing with an amount of data larger than
the other, nautilus calculates the estimate as if both copying
processes were going to be running simultaneously until copying is
complete, which is not true. Once the smaller set of files finishes,
the larger one will get its full speed back and finish sooner than the
first estimate actually predicted.
My suggestion: Nautilus should be aware that the second file copy is
slowing the first one down, so it should calculate the first's
estimate as something like: <estimate for the smaller set of files
copy to finish> + <estimate time to copy the amount of data that will
be left when the second process ends at both processes speed
combined>.
Although this approach may look too simplistic, I think it's better
than the rather pessimistic approach we're using right now.
