Public bug reported:
affects ubuntu/nautilus
If the nautilus transfer window is closed, there does not appear to be a way to
bring it back. The transfer appears to continue, and can be monitored using the
Unity launcher icon though.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a long transfer, e.g. from a network share
2. Notice the nautilus icon in the Unity launcher gain a progress meter.
3. Click the 'x' on the transfer window while the transfer is ongoing.
4. Notice that the progress meter on the nautilus icon is still present.
5. Attempt to bring the transfer window back... wait, how?
It's worth noting that in Natty, Nautilus put a little indicator into the panel
that allowed for reopening the transfer dialog. I'm not sure if that was
intentionally removed, but I think there is a need for a way to bring back the
transfer window so that the user can cancel transfers if necessary.
