As far as I can tell, the progress windows in Windows Explorer and the Mac Finder do not address this problem either. It might be interesting to research whether various FTP/SFTP clients address it.
I have updated my progress window specification to solve this problem without cluttering the window in the normal case: if the current item being moved/copied has stayed the same for at least five seconds, then the exact number of bytes moved/copied so far should appear alongside the item's name. <http://live.gnome.org/action/info/Nautilus/ProgressWindow#Current_item> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799601 Title: Can't see that a long-running large-data file copy is progressing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/799601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
