Description

The progress bar text should provide an idea of how much work has been completed, in MB.

An estimate of the time left until the operation is complete should also be included in the progress bar text. Indicate that the “time left” is an estimate using the word “about”.

An alternative would be to display only the elapsed time.

Implementation-wise, zenity does not allow any of the above, so this can only happen after Feature #6461 is resolved.

  • Subject changed from Add figures and time to the IUK download progress bar to Add download size and estimated time when downloading upgrades
  • Description updated
  • Priority changed from Low to Normal
  • Start date deleted (2013-12-16)
  • Starter deleted (Yes)

Given that upgrades are still one of the major pain points and IUKs will become significantly bigger in Tails 4, this deserve normal priority.

Since it’s blocked by Feature #6461, it’s not a starter taks.
