Sometimes I copy a large trunk of files over network in Dophin. KDE4.3 would give me a notification that a job is underway and estimate time of completion. There used to be stop/pause button in 4.2, IIRC. It's now gone.

With network copy, it sometimes just dropped for various reason. So the job's never done and the status bar is frozen somewhere in the middle.

Two questions:
1) Is it safe to just start a new job copying the same files?
2) If not, how do I stopped the suspended/frozen/dropped job so that I can start over with the files not copied?

Thanks,

In the system tray there should be a triangle with a little spinning thing around it and a number (like 0/1 or 2/3 or something like that). Click on that, you should get a list of completed and/or running jobs. There should be a pause button and a stop button on each job you can click (they are just symbols, like from a media player). If you just have one progress bar, there should be an arrow above and to the right of the progress bar. Click that, it should show all of the running jobs there. Then click the stop button.

Right. I don't see an arrow. I see a blue circle with three smaller white circles inside on the top left of the progression bar. That icon does nothing.

This is on kde-4.3.3 on Gentoo. I used to have the stop/pause buttons you mentioned back in 4.2, I think. It has been gone for a while now.

EDIT: out of frustration, I clicked/double clicked a few times the progression bar and there they are: stop and pause buttons!

What theme are you using?
