Compressing large file expanded notification flickers

Open EmmanuelMess opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

If you compress 3GB file, the notification flickers before the actual compression starts, and "undefined" is shown for the size and time. I think we should show a "processing compression" notification before actually starting compression.

It does show 'processing', I don't see the problem. So it lasts only few seconds before the progress actually starts?

As I said:

It depends on how large is the folder, in the gif it's 37s.

As I see it, the contents of notification is not a problem. Time remaining and transfer rate are indeed unknown at the time since transfer hasn't started yet. So our main focus should be on the flickering.

Time remaining and transfer rate are indeed unknown at the time since transfer hasn't started yet.

But don't simply say 'unknown', remove the fields! Just let it be a processing notification.

A big notification without things in it? Just empty? Won't look good imo.

Doesn't have to be big, I'll work on it ASAP.
