Hi

After upgrading to 4.6.5 the notification widget? applet? (the circled i in the system tray) does no longer show the actual progress of my file transfers (to usb device) After initiating the transfer in dolphin it just pops up to tell me "file transfer complete", when the actual transfer has only just begun.
It used to behave like this: the circle around the i would slowly fill while the number of running transfers would be displayed in the centre. A finished transfer would be announced by a popup.
I'd be very happy if I could get that behaviour back.
Anybody else have that problem? Suggestions?

(Fedora 15 (2.6.38.8-35.fc15.x86_64), KDE SC 4.6.5)

I can't reproduce (but I'm running trunk / git master). Can you try with a different user?

Yes, tried that: same behaviour...Looks to me like the transfer is first put on hold (cached?), which is what the notifications thingy displays, but the actual transfer happens some seconds later (according to the status display on my sansa fuze..) Reminds of the way windows 98 was handling transfers (caching and flushing). At least that's how I understood things then...
Whatever.

Can this be a fedora thing? Some changed policy or such?

I'm running 4.6.5 and I don't see that. I tried by transfering a 700 MB file to my usb and I see the animation just fine. Using opensuse 11.4.

EDIT: I should point out that after the initial deployment of 4.6.5, I've downloaded several updates to different packages throughout the month, going from libqt to kdelibs and even to ark, amarok, digikam and the likes. They have the same version number but different release number. It is possible the bug exists in version 4.6.5 and has been fixed by my distributor.

This seems more like the behaviour of the Linux kernel. This behaviour can be altered by the mount options passed to both.

Can you please provide relevant line of the output of "mount" concerning your device? Certain options can change the behaviour of the kernel with regards to when the device is flushed.
