Multiple tasks taking some time to complete is the prerequisite for the progress window issues to show up. If it were only a single tasks, fine. Then the tiny progress window would be sufficient. But when waiting for a couple of tasks and using the same Nautilus window to copy/move more files or directories, the progress window isn't helpful. It gets cluttered up. It jumps to the top automatically, disturbing the user's scrollbar usage. It cannot be cleaned up while waiting for more tasks to finish. It cannot be moved into a separate window like Firefox's list of downloads. It's been made for very basic usage scenarios only, unfortunately. As another surprise, F25 GNOME Shell crashed and logged me out in the middle of sending a mail. ABRT claims the backtrace is unusable. A few such backtraces have piled up meanwhile. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
