Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
ubuntu 9.04 64-bit.
version:1:2.26.2-0ubuntu2
Sometimes I copy folders with many (thousands) of files in them. I do
this either by cp, rsync. Often I want to check the progress of the
transfer, so I calculate the folder size of the source folder and
compare it to the folder size of the target folder. However, when
calculating the folder size of the target folder, Nautilus will often
report the size from the LAST time I queried it to calculate the folder
size (I think that it thinks that the folder hasn't changed). Then,
after about 10-20 seconds, it starts calculating the new folder size.
Perhaps this is not a bug and that it is computationally inefficient to
check if the folder has changed right away. In this case, I would still
like to know that Nautilus has not confirmed if the folder has changed
or not. This could be done by the "busy cursor rotating circle thing" or
even just a "calculating..." text on the folder properties.
Thank you!
