(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: KDE 3.0.0 Severity: wishlist Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified It is not necessary to display the progress meter for operations on small sets of files. For instance deleting one file will waste CPU time for a progress meter. This meter flashes by so quickly no visual feedback is provided to the user. In addition it doesn't look good. There could be a number representing a file threshold. The progress bar could only be displayed if the selected file number is greater then the threshold. This threshold could be: - Set statically at compile time - Found dynamically at run-time It would be better to set this number dynamically at run-time. Run-time will provide data on the filesystem speed. You would want to know if deleting 3 files over NFS takes 30 seconds. Then 2 might be a threshold for that filesystem. To find the number dynamically at run time a test file operation would need to be performed and response time measured. Hope this helps. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
While I agree that the progress bare is hardly useful für small-scale operations, I'd rather like it to be oriented at the file size, not the file numbers. exp: If a file is more than 1MB or the filename is unknown, show the progress bar. It could be useful to show it anytime a remote host is used.
Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.45.
