Just saw this, I know its a bit pedantic, but damn is it really so hard to make sure your numbering is right for your distro? This is the main one 25.04, the one that the ‘download’ button downloads.

        To be fair, estimating file copy/move progress correctly is hard.

        The most correct way would probably be to group small, medium and large files , so you don’t get random small access, then cross-reference that with prior saved disk benchmarks. But you know, a bit over the top.

        Although the grouping (and tar-ing the small files) would speed up the copy/move.

          i mean if you can’t give an estimate, don’t give an estimate. otherwise you’re just lying to the user and making things harder for them.

          just show how much of the data has been processed and let the user make of that what they wish.
