Actual interface shows too little information

Files copy or moves should show :
- source and destination folders
- total size to move
- ETA

Additionnally, it would be nice if we could queue them so there are only processed one by one. So, along with the "pause" and "stop" buttons there could be a "queue" button which would act like "pause and resume once other active file operations are complete". To change the order we could drag them around

Thanks for the report

That's exactly what the "<" arrow next to the file title does.

I'll add usability team here - guys, is that arrow ok discoverability-wise?

As for queuing, I don't think that would be something that we
would want to add, it's quite a corner case, sorry.

The problem with the arrow is probably that it is in an unexpected position and looks unfamiliar (because it is a < instead of an > ).

Putting a > in front of the progress bar might work better.
Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-04-30 11:10:03 UTC
Placing it before the progress bar wouldn't work as the details are shown above the progress bar. But I agree the arrow points into the wrong direction.

How about to the left of the file name, then?
