Hi everyone!

When copying a file using Dolphin, the integer 1 is displayed in a blue circle on the task bar, on top of the Dolphin square box. When copying from one Dolphin and pasting in another Dolphin instance, both of the Dolphin boxes on the task bar gets the same 1 circle. This way I can see a background task is in progress - nice. If I start multiple copy operations, the number increases accordingly. This is just fine.

However, I cannot see what is going on. I miss a task list showing all my many ongoing copy jobs. In case a job hangs, the digit just stays there forever. Not nice.
Do I need to get rid of Dolphin, or is there some clever way to see a task list, with source and destination, status etc?

If you are using plasma desktop the you are seeing the plasma notification. If you click the notification it will show more information, history etc...



If you want to see the Dolphin progress window you need to disable both the System Tray track and the Task manager progress - earlier: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=131078

Hi Rog.

I wonder why KDE is made, so that several clicks are needed to see the "background" copy tasks. But anyway, I modified my settings, according to the other forum thread you linked to, and it's better this way.

I see the benefit of using the notifications box, especially when one has a tendency to have multiple jobs running simultaneously, thereby having one big active tasks list. It's just a shame it requires multiple clicks every time, to see the Notifications. I would prefer KDE to either open a small pop up with the Notifications, or by flashing a notification icon on the taskbar. Like saying "Hey, if you wanna see the ongoing tasks details, click me". But this is for the devops to decide...

Anyway, thank you for your help!
