The new progress bar doesn't give any idea how much of the job is done and doesn't give the user an expected waiting time. Please give a % indicator or at least a bar indicator.

the problem is dd doesn't return exact progress state. Very often it has following behaviour: 0% -> [instant] -> 94% -> [wait,wait,wait] -> 100%.

I have plans to switch to udisk #3. I guess it would solve the issue with progress value.

Not to mention, no indication or notification when it's done. If you start a process and come back to the window, it's hard to know if it actually ran without checking the disk manually.

Yes, first then I tried this app and so this wait wait wait... I killed that app - thought it stuck or something

I agree we should at least get a confirmation the process has finished successfully. It's very uninformative this way.

The only indication I get is constant flickering of the USB. So pretty much anxiety hangs in the air if there is no proper progress bar. Fortunately there's a notification if the task is completed in eOS :)
