8.5.2 progress percentage missing

[inamak]

Hi - I am on 8.5.2 now and still only see the blue icon on copy - no percentage? Cleared browser cache but did not help. Using latest Firefox

[coderaiser]

I can not reproduce. Could you please try one of demo sites: https://cloudcmd.now.sh or http://cloudcmd.herokuapp.com

[inamak]

I can see the percentage on your demo site but not on my local instance. See screenshot

I tried in latest firefox and chrome, after clearing cache in both.

There is progress option, when it set to true progress is enabled. Did you change this option? What value in your ~/.cloudcmd.json file?

[inamak]

Ah i finally saw progress percentage. it works on copy but not move

[inamak]

Weirdly i dont seem to have the ~/.cloudcmd.json file

[coderaiser]

There is no percentage on move. File will be created if you change any option.

[inamak]

Ah ok will you add percentage for move as well? I get an error when try to change any option - posted the error on that other issue

[coderaiser]

There is no need for progress of move operations in most cases so I do not know about it. Why do you need this? Are you often move files from different partitions and it tooks to much time?

[inamak]

Yes - moving files from one drive to another on my server for longer term storage. Most of the operations I do are move operations like moving files from temporary location to sorted folders. Also having to move files from drives running low on space.

[coderaiser]

OK, we need something with similar API to copymitter but using fs.rename and handling EXDEV error.

[inamak]

I am also not always seeing the percentage even when copying?

[coderaiser]

When you use operations like: copy, delete, pack, extract files with operations logic is loading and connecting to server with help of websockets. While websockets not connected ajax version of this operations used, it is with out progress. When websockets disconnected operations also degrades to ajax. Looks like your case is one of this two.

[inamak]

Interesting. Any idea why websockets isn't being used a lot of the time?

[coderaiser]

This is done for greceful enhancement, websocket connection takes time in any case. The same with greceful degradation to ajax. Also start load of Cloud Commander is much faster, because a lot logic lazy loads on first use.

[coderaiser]

Do you have any other questions or ideas for improvements?

[inamak]

I noticed on copy that the percentage increase can be jumpy - regularly starts jumps from 0 to 33% and then 67% instead of a more linear increase up from 0. What would cause that?

[coderaiser]

If you have 3 files, progress divedes to three parts: 33%, 67%, 100%. Looks like copymitter should be improved to count all file sizes, and then increase current position while streaming or something like that, it is a an interesting idea, but now fs.copyFile used for this purpose, and it is not provide a progress information, but can speed up the process.

@inamak just improved progress copy accuracy with help of copymitter v3.0.0, you can check it by reinstalling cloudcmd with:

npm i cloudcmd -g

Landed in v9.3.2

[coderaiser]

Added ability to show progress on file move with 697df58. Landed in v9.4.0
