Second the format of the status is different, and reports on bytes and the output to screen comes at different rates, and is on the same line over and over. Third, it doesn't have any relationship to the size of what is being copied in the data or time.

The dialog progress bar uses the lines created every 5 seconds to show info and bar. Note: I just put the file size in the line, which wasn't in the correct format, size I just dropped the last 3 digits of byte instead of converting it to K value. Tried to post a message with an example of bar, but it is currently on hold since the 28K image file result in message being larger than 60K, which is the list limit. The info doesn't make a difference in the image, and is only to give progress info. > Alexander > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
