SUMMARY
When copying files in Dolphin the "time remaining" estimate (shown in the system tray) jumps all over the place every second, for example, time remaining: 2 hours... 50 minutes... 1 hour 15 mins... 40 minutes... and so on, which makes the remaining time estimate pretty meaningless. Dolphin shouldn't use the current 1-second copying speed to calculate the time remaining but instead should use the average copying speed across completed files. For example, let's say the user is trying to copy 100 files and it took 5 minutes to copy 10 files, then time remaining should be 45 minutes for the rest 90 files.
