Bug Description

According to this bug report ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657561 ), Nautilus should bring up an icon in the notification area while doing file operations. In Oneiric, you only get a modal dialog, but nothing in the notification area.

This is also the case with a freshly installed Ocelot. If I then choose to close the file operations windows, I've got no way to get it back or see how far my operation is.

Also the same for me. Using Gnome-Shell there's no way to get back the file operations dialog box. You can only start minimizing every window to be able to see it.

This is not a duplicate of bug #868032, though it is exacerbated by it. This is about a lack of copy progress in the notification area, rather than the copy dialog window skip flag.

I've compiled the nautilus-3.2 branch from Gnome git and still don't get any notifications. I'll try building master, and if still no luck, I'll do some debugging and try to find out why, and maybe go back to upstream.

Same problem for me in Unity-2d in Ubuntu Precise 12.04.1 and Nautilus 3.4.2 ...

I found a workaround to recover the progress window: wmctrl

wmctrl -l List the windows being managed by the window manager.
wmctrl -a <WIN> Switch to the desktop containing the window <WIN>, raise the window, and give it focus.

See wmctrl(1) - Linux man page http://linux.die.net/man/1/wmctrl

It does the trick! But it is just a workaround!

I miss Lucid on that one....

ctrl-alt-tab does not work (nor alt-tab...) at all for me...
