[Bug 57772] No dialog telling the user the indexing of files is in progress

[Loe Spee]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake
Nautilus 2.14.3

Steps to reproduce:
- Insert a blank DVD (I used a DVD+RW)
- Add a lot of files (mine where on a NTFS partition and added up to 4 GB)
- Press the "Write to disc" button
- Wait a while
And creating the ISO starts, followed by burning that ISO to the disc.

What doesn't happen:
It's totally unclear to the user wether the burn process has started yes, if I didn't hear the harddisc make some noise, I would have pressed the "Write to disc" button a few more times.

What should happen:
A dialog should popup with a progressbar (be it finite or infinite) and tell the user Nautilus is busy indexing the files to be burnt (at least I think Nautilus is doing that). And the "Write to disc" button should get disabled.

This way the user gets informed what is going on, and that his/her
system is budy indexing, now it seems like Nautilus burning doesn't
work. Read chapter 7 of the Gnome HIG
(http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/), it tells us the user
should be notified if something is going to take a little bit longer, so
the user doesn't get frustrated.
