The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

-[8.50 RC2] Cosmetics for copy in background dialog

Post by *Fossi »

Hi,

I remarked a small cosmetic issue in the dialog for background copying.

Could it be, that there is a blank missing betweeen the number of files?

Hope this helps. :)

p.s. Thanks a lot for the great work on TC 8.5. There are a lot of features I like a lot, especially the ones for copying.

The left one is a fractional number, the left is a x of y slash.

Hi Christian,

that is OK. But is it not possible to separate these two numbers on the left side by a blank? In this case I mean -27 / 5'340 instead of -27/5'340.
It is working fine on the right side. :)

Or did I get something wrong?

No, there are no spaces in the left because it's a fractional number! There are spaces in the right because it's a "of" separator.

-27/5'340 may be understood as:

a) "27 files left of total 5340 files"
OR
b) "27 : 5340 = 0,505% of total files left".


-16'343,2 M / 44'062,4 M may also be understood as:

a) "16343.2 MB left of total 44062.4 MB"
OR
b) "16343.2 : 44062.4 = 37,091% of total MB left".


So, in my personal opinion, spaces could be placed around '/' in both places.

Sorry, I prefer to keep it as it is for now - maybe in a later release.
