GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 762367
Use a single progress bar for the whole of the internal copy operation
Last modified: 2016-04-26 15:55:41 UTC
As part of the internal block copy operation 5 initial ranges of blocks are copied using different block sizes to determine the fastest. Then the remainder is copied using the fastest block size. Each of these copies reports progress independently, so during the benchmarking phase the progress bar flashes 5 times, before showing the progress of the remainder. This looks bad. I'll fix this while dealing with progress bars is fresh in my mind.
