Well, both konqueror nor dolphin (which is the recommended file manager nowadays) shows a bar under the device with the amount of disk space used when it's mounted. If you right the device you can unmount it ("Safely remove...") and the bar dissapears. > "I think it would be nice to have a progress bar that > would show the actual data transfer." There is, if you are using KDE and plasma. I think it's trough dbus, so maybe it works in Gnome too. > But if it is at those both are not showing the correct state, doesn't that > mean that this will be at any data copying over usb?. So it's something > more generall then konquer? (which i do not use, i use Dolphin) The correct state is being shown, so I don't see a problem here.
