[Bug 75658] Directory properties: Contents field doesn't indicate progress

[Alex Willmer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

When properties are viewed for a large directory (eg /usr), it takes
some time to scan all children and calcualate total items/size. Locally
it is discernable when this has finished, due hard disk activity.

When querying a remote directory or using a remote X session, subject to
variable network latency, there is no indication that scanning has
completed perhams leading to wrong interpretation by the user.

A hint - perhaps using shading, a spinner or a '(working)' suffix -
would resolve this.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
