Description Josselin Mouette 2006-05-15 11:40:20 UTC 
[ forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/352018 ]

I am using nautilus on a regular basis to upload files to a webdav 
server (https). Usually it's only one tarball of a few megabytes.

nautilus would show progress bar as shown in 
screenieNautilusFalseProgress.png from the start whereas in reality it 
would take about five minutes to transfer the file. It appears that the 
progress is calculated based on the number of files rather than the file 
sizes and transfer speed.

Secondly, nautilus has redraw problems and sometimes blocks the whole 
desktop (not just other nautilus windows, but say a firefox window as 
well).

It would be great if this could be improved as it presents as major 
usability issue when an application appears to be hanging for minutes.

Known bug :( Totally related (dup?) to bug #306026. I mean leaving this open for no because maybe there is a way to work around here, and make the progess bar work, although I totally doubt it.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:08:02 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
