I just copied a file with nautilus to an sftp: URI. The transfer took
about 20 minutes. I really dislike the way this window appears, as a
transient dialog:
1. This dialog stays on top, getting in the way of my regular work,
unless I use the 'Show Desktop' key binding. It has no minimize button,
but it actually is a visual representation of a background task, so we
should be able to minimize it.
2. It doesn't appear in the window list applet, therefore if I want to
check on it to see how much more time the transfer will take my only
choice is to cycle through windows with Alt-TAB.
Therefore, I suggest that the dialog should be a regular window
instead. However, I wouldn't like to lose the transient_for property,
making it stay on top of the target nautilus window. I sure hope we can
it both ways?
Regards.
