Hi David, your mockup looks pretty.. becoming more like a hybrid between our notification bubbles and and interactive progress indication dialog.. i like the visual this is taking!
some ideas on this: REMOVE THE TITLE BAR why? a) imagine you hit the cancel button.. the window would close immediately, since there is nothing left to learn or to interact with in this progress dialog. b) minimizing this dialog should hide it, until you are notified about its completion. PAUSE OPERATION add a pause button beside the "cancel" and you'll have an easily discoverable "pause" feature. ADD "CONTINUE IN BACKGROUND" BUTTON all that's missing now is a way to let the computer know that you have acknowledged the informative part and you don't wish to interact.. something like "continue in background". winrar does this quite well ;) OBJECT TITLE IN PROGRESS BAR while copying, display the title of the object being copied in the progress bar. putting this information anywhere else in the dialog window doesn't make too much sense. REMOVE GEEKY INFORMATION don't display details like filesize vs transferred data. the progress bar should indicate that sufficiently. perhaps add a [ + ] button for details on the operation.
