gui file copy progress indicator?
say i want to copy a file manually (ala via the shell); is there anyway to produce a gui file copy progress indicator? the files i'm copying are large, and i would like to see how long it's going to take. i'm looking to get something that looks like the nautilus file copy, but anything that has a percentage copied is fine by me. anyway, thanks for any thoughts.

sorta
open a shell and change directory to the destination now type: watch "ls -s" And that tells you how much of the total size has been achieved. Not graphical but tells you progress. |
i'm looking for something a little more user-friendly. i need something that will apease a novice user (preferably a gui).
could i achieve this trick by somehow using gnomevfs-copy? thanks. |
ok, i've come up with a horrendous hack. this makes a gui progress dialog, but it's not very accurate...and the dialog takes a while to pop up...and the copy seems to finish with the gui showing only 25% completion...not quite what i'm looking for. any ideas are greatly appreciated. peace.
