GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 530793
speed in file operations dialog not calculated usefully
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:12:58 UTC
I often move several files to an external disk using samba. When one transfer has finished, the speed of the second transfer (in the case of two) is doubled. However, the file operations dialog does not use the "current" transfer speed, but uses an average over the whole transfer (?). This makes the time estimation completely inaccurate. I'd suggest implementing a simple "recent average" algorithm. Other information:
-> Nautilus (the calculation is always done by the client, GIO/GVFS just gives the client the percentage complete of the operation in a callback).
File operations dialog redesign is currently being discussed. You can join the discussion if you want and post your suggestions.

Ubuntu 9.10 / Nautilus 2.28.1 This issue still applies.
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.
