Description Zakhar 2018-03-11 04:17:38 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
-Add archive which more than 30 seconds to extract
-Right click from dolphin on archive and select "extract here"

Results: Notice cursor no longer jumpts (if default cursor style is left enabled) what happens is it no longer lets user know archive is currently being extracted.

When you extract from dolphin, the cursor is handled by dolphin. I think the current behavior is correct: the extraction is being performed by an external ark process, not by dolphin. So I don't think that dolphin should show the busy cursor. We show the extraction progress in the systemtray notification applet and that's how you can track when the extraction finishes.

Would be nice to have some sort of progess bar in its own dialog window, currently only notifications area has progress bar available

Hmm, actually there should be also the progress bar in the task manager entry, but somehow that's not working.

Task bar has a "highlighted" progress bar in which a cover is overlaid at some transparency level never the less it is a broken feature. Should task manager indicator be working, I would still insist for progress bar dialog because it is the natural and most common implementation for such an operation.

Then please open a feature request against the frameworks-kio product, which is what handles the progress of jobs.
