Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.92) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux As you can see in the following screenshots : (sorry, they are in french) http://annivernet.free.fr/stuff/cut-move.png http://annivernet.free.fr/stuff/copy-paste-bis.png The title of these windows are not logical. Indeed, the completed ratio is the first information given in this title, but the action in progress is between parenthesis although this is the main information of the dialog box ! So, I think a string like Copy progress (12% of 3,5 Gb) and Move progress (12% of 3,5 Gb) will be better than the current ones.
But in the minimized window what is important is the progress, not that it is a move or a copy! (Also as far as I know, this is a feature of KIO.) Have a nice day!
Is the title able to be different in minimized mode (with a signal for example)? If so, it can be a good solution for everybody.

But if the progress window is hidden (by the current active window), the only thing that you see of the progress window is the minimized window (or whatever you call it in such a case). Have a nice day!
Yes, your right, so a little text could be sufficent, like this one for example : "Copy (3% of 3,6 Gb)" The fact that the action of the dialog box is between parenthesis is really the problem for me, because I think we need to know what windows is really doing (another solution could be a different icon between copy and moving

So we could have something like: "3%; Copy; 3.6 GB" but that makes it even more synthetic and not natural as the current title. > > The fact that the action of the dialog box is between parenthesis is really > the problem for me, because I think we need to know what windows is really > doing (another solution could be a different icon between copy and moving That is the part that I do not really understand. Why it seems so important for you to know if it is a move or a copy? The window title means more: "There is a file operation under way. 3% of 3.6 GB is already done". (Good, for me, I mostly see that window while downloading from the Internet, so the "move" case is excluded anyway. And when a program saves and renames the file and its backup, it is also not really important to know that it is a "move".) Also if I remember well, this window title was changed for usability to the current way, so there is probably a mailing list thread somewhere with the reasons. Have a nice day!
And what do you think about a different icon between Copy and Move ? In fact, it's important for me because I often have different opened copies and moves in progress, and I need sometimes to see in a rapid view what dialog do what (to see their progress for example)

That would be perhaps the way to go, but I do not know how the icons are currently handled for those progress dialog. > In fact, it's important for me because I often have different opened > copies and moves in progress, and I need sometimes to see in a rapid view > what dialog do what (to see their progress for example) Have a nice day!
Can't reproduce this with KDE 4.7.3, I guess this should have been closed since quite some time :)
