Shared progress dialog in Thunar

Hey guys,
I've been hacking on a shared progress dialog today which displays all the copy/move progress information in a single dialog instead of many. It also shows a status bar icon for as long as there are file operations running. Here's what it looks like: http://lunar-linux.org/~jannis/screenshots/xfce/thunar-progress-dialog-20090912-1.png Now the individual job titles could be a little more descriptive. I could imagine changing that to something like Copying files from "Source folder" to "Target folder" Moving files from "Source folder" to "Target folder" Deleting files from "Source folder" And so on. Ellipsizing these titles could ensure that the dialog doesn't grow beyond the acceptable. I wonder what you guys think about this feature though. It's not committed to master yet, because I'd like to get some feedback. Do you like it, do you not like it? - Jannis _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev |

It also introduces new problems like how and when to resize and where to scroll when raising the dialog (when a progress view needs attention). I guess resizing could be rather simple by putting a scrolled window around the views as soon as there are more than three of them. After that, no forther resizing. Once there are less than four views, we shrink/grow the window with each view. Something like that. I'll test it later. > Another (big, but difficult) improvement would be a pause button > and/or maybe a way (checkbox) to make 1 transfter at a time, this > would speedup multiple copies to a usb device for example, but maybe > that is a bit overly complicated. Yeah, although I'd say that this is a different story and can be looked at independently. > Anyway, sound like a branch to me ;-). I have the code almost ready. I'll do some testing with scrollbars tonight and then commit it directly to master, I guess. For the pausing we could open a new branch but that has lower priority IMHO. I just needed one more feature to have more to write about in my thesis. ;) - Jannis _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev |

Please give it a try. Can anyone please run Thunar 1.0.x and check if their X CPU usage goes up to ~50% with ThunarVFS? It might be that my GIO job implementations emit more 'percent's signals and thus, causes a higher CPU usage. > > Another (big, but difficult) improvement would be a pause button > > and/or maybe a way (checkbox) to make 1 transfter at a time, this > > would speedup multiple copies to a usb device for example, but maybe > > that is a bit overly complicated. > > Yeah, although I'd say that this is a different story and can be > looked at independently. > > > Anyway, sound like a branch to me ;-). I created a branch now. Please give it a spin. - Jannis _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@... http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev |

The mockup you posted above is not really usable. A bit more spacing and text helps users in finding a certain operation again later. I've (more or less) decided to implement this mockup now: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-09142009-030342pm.php It requires less vertical space and we can probably display 5 jobs without scrollbars on a netbook screen. I'd say that's pretty good. > Rgrds, > Grigory Tuboltsev > > > Jannis Pohlmann wrote: > > Hey guys, > > > > I've been hacking on a shared progress dialog today which displays > > all the copy/move progress information in a single dialog instead > > of many.
