Thanks for your advice! I tried to adjust your lines a bit, but I
was not successful:
def progress_pulse(self):
if self.load_in_progress:
self.progress.pulse()
return True # call again
else:
return False # do not call again
def on_load_data(self , state ):
if state == 'start':
self.load_in_progress = True
self.progress.pulse()
gobject.timeout_add(1, self.progress_pulse)
if state == 'stop':
self.load_in_progress = False
def callback(self, widget, data=None):
i=0
n=100
self.on_load_data('start')
shutil.copytree(file1,"/home/fab/test_copy2")
self.on_load_data('stop')
The progressbar starts to run, if the directory already exists and
'shutil' stops with an error message; if the copying works than
there is no progressbar movement... strange. Do you know, what I am
doing wrong?
