situation: i copy file(Ngb), paste it and see dialog "3 minutes remaining", now is 12:00, so ETA should be 12:03. after 1 minute i see "2 minutes remaining" time is 12:01 after another minute i see "1 minute remaining"(after 1 second i should see 59seconds remaining, but that string i see only after 1 minute) time is 12:02 after another minute i see "59 seconds remaining"(58,57,56 and all others) time is 12:03, so operation now should be completed because now is 12:03, 3 minutes passed after first dialog. conclusion: either i think not like people which think in English(my native language is not English) either it's a bug. imho then i see "1 minute remaining" after 1 minute operation should be completed, but in thunar after such message operation completes only after 2 minutes.
P.S. i'm a translator, so if i'm wrong and this is not a bug, explain to me why it's so and how i should translate it.
Created attachment 4636 fix-remaining-time-in-progress-dialog.patch I confirm this bug which has been present since at least 0.9.x. The problem here is probably that "1 minute remaining" should be in fact "more than 1 minute remaining", or perhaps if something shorter is required "> 1 minute remaining." An alternative solution would be to increase minutes or hours by one, which is what I use (see attached patch which applies to current git) because I did not want to update the translation files too. So it changes "1 minute remaining" to "2 minutes remaining" and "1 hour remaining" to "2 hours remaining". If only 1 minute/hour is remaining, it will switch to the next smaller unit, that is 59 seconds/minutes.
The question is: is 90 seconds 1 or 2 minutes remaining.
(In reply to comment #3) > The question is: is 90 seconds 1 or 2 minutes remaining. 90 seconds is: 1. "less then 2 minutes" 2. "more then 1 minute" if application would show "90 seconds" it would be ok, but now(at bug report moment, i don't use XFCE anymore) it shows not logical words...
