The copy progress shows more number of files copied than the total files present for large number of file transfer from external harddisk

[Kushan]

Check the attached screenshot, x out of y (denoted by x/y) in copy progress is somehow bugged. In this scenario the x goes above y which shouldn't be allowed.

That means that maybe the initial calculation in large number of files is bugged. A solution without compromising performance is that as soon as you start going up, at the end you also increase the total count before actually increasing x. But that would be kind of like a work-around.

The best thing would be to check the counting of actual files copied as well as the calculation of initial total number of files during the beginning of copy

Thank you for your bug report. Did you get a dialog about file conflicts? There is a bug reported upstream which state it can happen in those cases, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1327
If not could you maybe open a new report upstream on gitlab?

[Kushan (kushan02)]

I have opened a new issue -
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1501

Because the earlier issue you sent has been closed stating that happened in
a earlier version of nautilus which is no longer supported. But that issue
is still present even in the latest version of Ubuntu will all the packages
updated to their latest version so it should be fixed.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting it upstream, also it is useful to know you had the skip dialog displayed
