just a screenshot of nautilus with popover

I like the fact that now when we copy/move files the popover appears automatically, indicating there is an operation in progress but now it looks like it won't go away after the operation finishes, it stays there forever unless I click anywhere inside the folder i'm currently located.

I don't think we should dismiss a popover that the user might open it. The user could want to take another look at the operations.

We could detect whether this was opened by the user or by us automatically, but that doesn't make it less unexpected to close it in front of the user.

What we should do is to not open it in the first place and have a better feedback, that's being work in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753728

Closing this one.

That's not what I meant, like I said in the description, "...now when we copy/move files, popover appears automatically...", it means that before we used to only see the icon when copy/move operations were in progress and we had to click on that icon to check its status now it's not necessary because it opens automatically, at least that's what happened in my computer.

It opened automatically in my computer and the idea is that this popover closes automatically once the operations are completed, that's what I tried to explain in this bug report.

Yeah, I understood it in that way.

Yeah, and for the reasons I said is not what we want. Instead we would like to have better feedback instead of automatically open the popover.

Oh, OK, thank you for clarifying that.
