4 years later and 2 lts versions later, we still do not have a simple
progress to format a disk, I have been formatting a 1tb disk for 5 hours
and I must guess when it will be ready. Then they complain about why
Windows has more users than Linux if they ignore such basic things as
this or put a brightness selector on the screen in desktop mode.

Title:
nautilus doesn't display progress bar when formatting SD Card device
Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I right my SD Card and click format. In the Erase drop down, I choose
'Overwrite existing data with zeroes (Slow)' and when I press format,
it does format the device but I don't see any progress bar.
I have an indicator in the panel that shows 'Disk Read' so I know it's
doing something. I can also see in the process list that gnome-disks
is formatting the device, but I'm not sure why there's no GUI progress
bar. Having no progress bar is bad since if I format a big SD Card
which will take a long time, then a normal user won't know that the
device is being formatted already.
If I run gnome-disks alone and format the device using it, there is of
course a progress bar, so maybe the problem is that gnome-disks when
run with --format-device doesn't display a progress bar that nautilus
can accept?
Any pointers how this can be fixed, even in the code. Thanks.
