Package: nautilus-wipe Version: 0.2.1-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: b...@herbesfolles.org, tails...@boum.org
Hi, 1. ext2 filesystem on a USB flash drive, with 2GB free space 2. right click in Nautilus -> Wipe available disk space 3. go through the dialog, not changing the default options 4. the progress bar stays at 0% for a long while, then moves to 50%, then to 100% => users report that they are confused: it's unclear for them whether the wipe operation is really happening, or the entire process is stuck. Potential solutions I can think of: a) make the progress bar more fine-grained, if not too much work; b) or, display additional information about what step in the process is being performed (e.g. "Pass 1/2", or whatever better wording UX folks will find), so that at least the user gets a hint that the progress bar is not supposed to be more fine-grained than it is; see e.g. "6.17.3. Indeterminate-progress indicator" in the GNOME HIG; c) worst case, use the thing that goes back'n'forth inside a widget that looks like a progress bar: this should make the "UI is frozen, is anything happening at all?" problem more or less go away.
