Moving files: look at file count and time remaining (17.96 KB, image/png)

Description Neil Weisenfeld 2002-11-19 21:31:30 UTC 
When copying a bunch of files (actually, using ssh://), the 

Files copied XX of YY

display shows the wrong YY.  Either that, or the rightmost digits are
getting chopped off.  I figured this out when I was on file "4 of 2" ;-).
Comment 1 David Kennedy 2002-11-28 22:48:46 UTC 
this reminded of bug 99848
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2003-11-22 17:15:44 UTC 
Seems to work fine with nautilus 2.4. Could you test with it to say if
the bug is still here on your box ?

Thanks

According to 127859 still here with nautilus 2.4
Comment 5 Neil Weisenfeld 2003-12-07 01:45:56 UTC 
Sorry for missing the 11/22 e-mail.  Yes, this is still an active
problem in the 2.4 distributed w/ Fedora Core 1.
Comment 6 Sebastien Bacher 2004-10-20 09:36:23 UTC 
do you still have the problem with nautilus 2.8 ? Do you have a small test case
to get it ?
Comment 7 Sebastien Bacher 2005-01-03 13:27:23 UTC 
still here with 2.9 in fact.

From #162664:
"This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/5110

When I copy directory *and* several aditional items with it, directory items
doesn't count in and it appears like overload of ftp copying (getting 10 out 3
items, for example)."

Comment 10 Christian Neumair 2005-01-29 18:21:49 UTC 
(Comment from 139469):
I see four ways of resolving this:
- Index all folders before deleting (insane)
- Count only direct subfolders and -files
- Increase count of all objects as new objects are seen (confusing for users)
- Don't show the "of ..." thingie at all

Any opinions?
Comment 11 Peteris Krisjanis 2005-04-12 10:29:35 UTC 
I suggest stick with two of Christian suggestions:
* Count only direct subfolders and files - it would good enough, I don't need to
know count of all objects, I just need to see some kind of progress.
Or if it is hard to achieve, then don't show the 'of ..' thingie at all,
however, it could be confusing.

Comment 13 Steven Wagner 2005-11-08 19:10:26 UTC 
I am running Nautilus 2.12.1 (on Ubuntu.)
Comment 14 Peteris Krisjanis 2006-02-21 00:19:40 UTC 
I want to point out that this problem is solved in Ubuntu Drapper, using Nautilus 2.13.91 and gnome-vfs 2.13.91. Counting is correct and timer is updated correctly.  So I suggest close this bug.
Comment 15 Dean Sas 2006-04-26 08:30:40 UTC 
I'm assured that this has been fixed, please reopen if not.
