GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 48344
delete progress dialog shows wrong number of files
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:13:26 UTC
Deleting a directory pops up a progress dialog. This dialog contains an indication of the number of files being deleted (like "12/36"). The total number of files does not include hidden files. Thus the displayed number is wrong (worst case: "Deleting: 20/0"). Backup files may also be affected by this bug (not verified). * REPRODUCIBLE: Always * STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Select a directory containing visible as well as hidden files 2. Select "Delete..." from its context menu (you may have to enable the trashcan bypass in the preferences to see it). 3. Confirm the deletion. * ACTUAL RESULTS: The progress dialog that is displayed ignores the hidden files in its file count. Therefore, in a directory with only hidden files, the file count will be displayed as 0, even if all the files are being deleted. * EXPECTED RESULTS: Display the correct number of files being deleted. ------- Additional Comments From snickell@stanford.edu 2001-07-23 00:35:30 ---- Taking bugs previously assigned to Pavel, assigning them to myself. Will parse them out at my leisure , but many are GnomeVFS bugs we should look at for 2.0 ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:18 ------- The original reporter (christian.glodt@ist.lu) of this bug does not have an account here.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.

It works in Nautilus 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.
Created attachment 69653 [details] Screenshot of Nautilus 2.14.1 misbehavior, using Gnome 2.14.2 on Ubuntu.
Comment on attachment 69653 [details] Screenshot of Nautilus 2.14.1 misbehavior, using Gnome 2.14.2 on Ubuntu. It seems that I can reproduce this bug in Nautilus 2.14.1 (see comment #4). May somebody re-open this bug?

I seen this bug last week on a GNOME v2.22 (so with gvfs), I was copying or deleting (I can't recall right now sorry) 1770 files and Nautilus counted around 3500.
... I would need someone to confirm before setting the version to 2.22 ...
Anyone still have a problem with this? It might be that nautilus also count the folders to be deleted / copied - could that make sense? (It might also ignore hidden and backup files)
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 of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
