Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When properties are viewed for a large directory (eg /usr), it takes some time to scan all children and calcualate total items/size. Locally it is discernable when this has finished, due hard disk activity. When querying a remote directory or using a remote X session, subject to variable network latency, there is no indication that scanning has completed perhams leading to wrong interpretation by the user. A hint - perhaps using shading, a spinner or a '(working)' suffix - would resolve this. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Directory properties: Contents field doesn't indicate progress https://launchpad.net/bugs/75658 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
