RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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:
