[Thunar-dev] Shared progress dialog in Thunar

[Jannis Pohlmann]

Hey guys,

I've been hacking on a shared progress dialog today which displays all
the copy/move progress information in a single dialog instead of many.
It also shows a status bar icon for as long as there are file
operations running.

Here's what it looks like:

Now the individual job titles could be a little more descriptive. I
could imagine changing that to something like

   Copying files from "Source folder" to "Target folder"
   Moving files from "Source folder" to "Target folder"
   Deleting files from "Source folder"

And so on. Ellipsizing these titles could ensure that the dialog
doesn't grow beyond the acceptable.

I wonder what you guys think about this feature though. It's not
committed to master yet, because I'd like to get some feedback. Do you
like it, do you not like it?
