Estimate properly or not show ETA for uploaded files using the web UI.

[SergioBertolinSG]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Upload a file with a size of several megabytes.

Expected behaviour:

Time left written in the progress bar decreases per second.

Actual behaviour

Time left is variable, it can increase a lot, decrease, increase again.

I recommend to remove this text from progress bar or improve the estimation.

Or at least remove the message "Any time soon..." which is likely to appear when the upload is short.

This has changed from 9.0 to 9.1
There are Pro's and Con's. I think its fine as it is now, some people like the text. I guess only other option would be to have an option in personal settings to show time/text in the progress bar or show nothing (like 9.0 seems to behave).
Not a bug as it was clearly designed this way ;)

[luckydonald]

Maybe the algorithm calculating the remaining time can be improved, so there is less jumping in the values.
As I am not good in the related mathematics, someone else have to come up with a better formula.

Moving to planned. We should tackle this in the next dev iteration depending on effort. Either
a) improve the estimation for that it really works reliably (and don't display e.g. "Infinite") or
b) remove the estimation and only show percentage completed

[PVince81]

The "Infinite" and "Invalid Date" problems will be solved already in 10.0.8, I touched that bit when fixing "retry chunks" in #30776

[felixboehm]

Decision for this depends very much on the use case and requirements.
Please provide these, then concept work, then effort and planning.

https://github.com/websanova/vue-upload -> 11.0 -> Phoenix hope this is sufficient for most users from a timeframe perspective.

[PVince81]

if this is a full fledge uploader we'll likely need to hack it to make chunking work

if this is just an indicator that we can plug into our own upload code then this is better

[hodyroff]

I guess what I wanted to say: There is proper code for frontends around which we can reuse in the future. Not a prio for today.
