The new progress bar is very uninformative

The new progress bar doesn't give any idea how much of the job is done and doesn't give the user an expected waiting time. Please give a % indicator or at least a bar indicator.

the problem is dd doesn't return exact progress state. Very often it has following behaviour: 0% -> [instant] -> 94% -> [wait,wait,wait] -> 100%.

I have plans to switch to udisk #3. I guess it would solve the issue with progress value.

Not to mention, no indication or notification when it's done. If you start a process and come back to the window, it's hard to know if it actually ran without checking the disk manually.

Yes, first then I tried this app and so this wait wait wait... I killed that app - thought it stuck or something

I agree we should at least get a confirmation the process has finished successfully. It's very uninformative this way.

The only indication I get is constant flickering of the USB. So pretty much anxiety hangs in the air if there is no proper progress bar. Fortunately there's a notification if the task is completed in eOS :)
