Package: thunar Version: 1.0.1-4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
When I'm copying a bunch of files from a fast file system (say, my hard disk) to a slower one (say, an MP3 player), the progress bar that is shown represents only the progress in reading the files, not writing them. If the files are already loaded into cache memory (say, if I just ripped them from a CD), the problem is even worse: the files are "read" so quickly that no progress dialog is displayed. Thunar then locks up unmounting the player, while all the files are written to disk, which can be on the order of thirty seconds. It seems that the files are merely being written to a kernel write buffer; if so, the trivial fix would be to call fsync() before closing each file that is written. I can't think of any reason not to do this.
