| Summary | 0000783: Progress Bars don't give an accurate indication of overall progress | ||||
| Description | The file monitor progress bar shows Monitoring X of Y, however, the Y figure is continually changing-->user has no real idea of actual progress! What should happen is that the Y figure is calculated once at the beginning of the process. This should also make the graphical status bar progress more smoothly (currently it's fast at the beginning, slows down, and then speeds up at the end). This same problem occurs with some other progress bars, e.g. file scanning, leading me to believe that it's a generalized problem. Other applications do _not_ have this problem. They generally do a quick analysis of the overall job size and then give an accurate indication of how much progress has been made. | ||||

I think that the current behaviour is the best we can do. To get the real value of Y we would need to make the whole process be two step - in the first one all folders and subfolders would be processed and Y would be calculated and in the second one the progress could go in a smooth way. Currently it tries to move the progress based on the number of files and folders, its smoothness depends on how files distributed in the folders. |
