GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 773527
Copy progress popover should close on completion
Last modified: 2017-03-26 04:50:33 UTC
Created attachment 338496 [details] Multiple instances of popover When copying folders/files and the popover progress window opens it pops up in all opened instances of Nautilus. You also need to close the popover on every single window or close every window to get it to disappear. This also applies to the progress-bar in launcher. Also when opening a new window the the popover shows up in the new window if not all instances of nautilus are closed. Expected behavior: copy popover should close after successfully performing the copy operation. Ubuntu 16.10 Nautilus 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3
Hey thanks for the report. We don't want to close it, the user might want to see it, and losing it will make the button dissapear at some point, so it can be problematic. Instead the solution is to not open the popover in the first place, and we are planning that already.

Seems like a good solution as long as closing the dialog in ONE window closes it on ALL open windows of nautilus.
I wouldn't do that. If you open it in one window, the user should close it if the user wants.
Just saying that the current behavior is a PITA. If we assume that the dialog is closed by default and the user has to click the progress icon to reveal the dialog AND it only opens in the active window then all is good. But if its revealed in all currently opened windows and you have to rotate through all open windows and click the icon to hide the dialog, well that's a bit frustrating.
see comment 1. "Instead the solution is to not open the popover in the first place, and we are planning that already."
Yes, I understand that and that's a good and sane behavior. But if the user decides to reveal the dialog, getting rid of if has to be an equally sane and easy operation. 1-click reveal in active window, 1-click hide.

No that's not the case. The file transfer dialog opens in all open windows of nautilus and it will not dissapear until I click to hide it in all windows. And if I open a new window when the dialog is open in one window it's open in the new window as well. As it behaves now it just gets in your way in everyway but the desired.
but...if we don't open automatically, this will be just fine no? I think we are talking about the same but we are not understanding each other. Current situation: - When operation happens, opens in all windows with no user interaction. - User can dismiss one popover at a time. - User can open one popover at a time. Future situation: - No popover opens automatically. - User can dismiss one popover at a time. - User can open one popover at a time. comment 1 talks about the only point that will change, the first point. What else is left for you?
Yes all is well in the future as long as you don't create a chain-effect of opening the dialog in one window causes it to open in all windows
(In reply to kronstadt21 from comment #10) > Yes all is well in the future as long as you don't create a chain-effect of > opening the dialog in one window causes it to open in all windows That was never the case, is it for you?
No I can open and close the dialog in individual windows whithout affecting other windows. It just boils down to the initial population of dialogs in all open windows which you have to close individually to, so to speak, 'finalise' the operation.
ah yeah indeed, that's the comment 1 fix then.
Yes, right! And thanks for the quick response btw.

Is it going to be fixed for 3.22/24?
Fixed for 3.24! We don't open it anymore at the start
Forgot the link https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=7f8cc0b8892105b24f944ac24248ba3b5f37ecbf
Actually, it would then make sense for Nautilus to emit a short-lived gnome-shell notification when the file transfers complete... does it already do that with the new version or should we file a new bug?
It has an in-app notification, doesn't have a gnome-shell notification.
