BUG? Synchronize directories

[miskox]

Hi all!

Left side: some files - all (each file) with the size of zero bytes
right side: some files - all (each file) with the size of zero bytes (or: same files as on the left side)

When I do a Synchronize directories at the bottom of the screen where progress is display I see:

Code: Select all

10/20 (0 k/0k), 0%

Percent complete remains 0% all the time. I think it should increment.

I understand that the percentage is calculated with the file size data but in this case it would be better (correct?) to use file processed counter. Or maybe add another percentage counter?

Well, indeed this is a very special case.
After all you cannot make it "the right way" for all cases.

Which information did you expect to get from the percentage value?
Remaining time ?

Think about your having 10000 files with 0 Byte first and 1 file with 4 GByte last.

Copy process based on file count will increase within some seconds and stay at 100 % for the next minutes.
Copy process based on file size will stay at 0 % until the end of copy.

You see percentage values does not tell you much about the time remaining ...

No. I don't need ETA (though this would be fine).
As mentioned: percentage (or two percentage values (file count and size))

Because file size was 0kb on both sides percentage based on file count seems logical.
