Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-05-21 13:42:26 UTC 
Ok according to seth, on the mac, IE sets the icon for files that are
downloading to a progress indicator in the finder, and updates the progress
as it goes.

Right now its not possible to do this with nautilus, because its corba
metadata impl is not public. Michael is working on this though, so it could
land by gnome 2.4 but more likely gnome 2.6.

[Responding here instead of in Bug 130540 since it was marked as dup
of this one]

How about setting the file hidden for 2.4 then? Just add a . to the
name and make it visible when it is done.
The reason is that currently there can be serious brokage if someone
tried to do somthing like open, move, delete, or rename a file while
it is downloading.
Comment 3 Julien Olivier 2004-03-31 08:36:45 UTC 
I see a good reason not to hide files while they are downloaded. Imagine you are
downloading - say - an ISO file. Then, for any reason, you have a big crash
while your file was 90% downloaded. Your 500 MB hidden file will remain hidden
forever, unless you know where to find it and delete it.

Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Comment 6 Daniel Brodie 2004-10-13 11:02:55 UTC 
This could actually be done now by creating a new mime type for a .part file and
showing a different icon for it that way. Also a nautilus extension could ask
for each file type from epiphany how much was downloaded and provide a little
emblem showing how much was downloaded (simmilar to the window icon when
nautilus copies files).
