GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 263620
Send & Receive dialog should show *overall* progress
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:12:43 UTC
The send&receive window would be much more useful if it had only one progress bar that moved from 0 at the start of the entire send&receive process to 100 at the end, with incremental stops along the way. That's the core user task the dialog is supposed to address: showing overall progress for the entire operation. i.e. how long do I have to get a cup of coffee. Right now each of the sub-progress-bars goes 0 to 100 over and over, with each 0 to 100 basically instant. If it's going to work that way, it would be better to just display the bounce-back-and-forth "activity mode" instead of a normal progress bar, so there's no expectation the progress bar represents the overall length of the task.

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows-progress.html has some useful recommendations, if you haven't seen it.
we do the best we can with the info we have
Activity bar is possible, and much better than what's there now.
Or just base it on folders to complete and folders completed so far, ignoring messages.
Created attachment 115078 [details] Screenshot of send/receive dialog in 2.22 I guess it fulfills the requirement.
the progress works when you have several messages but try to send one mail and an attachment, the bar will not move progressively while you are sending it, that's using GNOME 2.23

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
