Description Jonathon Jongsma 2016-04-12 21:05:11 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1324521 +++

As you know, Spice protocol supports drag-and-drop files from client to guest. This is very cool feature. It would be really cool to have a progress bar for copying process. Files can be very big in size. As a user release mouse's  button file immediately appears on VM. But, it is not very clear when copying process is finished. The time for copying greatly depends on network's condition. User can start using file before it is actually copied. I am not sure where to show this progress bar, as remote-viewer can consume whole client's display. Maybe, it can be shown not by remote-viewer, but by spice-vdagent.

even better, by the guest OS/desktop itself by implementing proper drag and drop (not a "fake dnd" / copy files).

There is a patch series posted here that adds a progress dialog to virt-viewer: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2016-April/msg00013.html

Comment 1 Jonathon Jongsma 2016-04-12 21:09:01 UTC

The required functionality was added to spice-gtk 0.31. Alternately, we would probably need to backport the following spice-gtk patches:

Comment 2 Pavel Grunt 2016-05-03 08:30:01 UTC

Due to the rebase the patches are in the latest build.
