+Progress notifications + idle tasks:
+ File ops use their own timers for some reason, even though
+ NautilusProgressInfo has a perfectly usable one. No need to be anal
+ about shaving off milliseconds (the preparation). Although,
+ having two timers would allow to have exactly what is needed -
+ the progress info timer could be started so that the widget appears
+ in the popover, but that seems needlessly wasteful.
+
+ Status??????????????? A possible hack is signaling a task from the
+ manager so that file tasks can set up the status for waiting, but
+ the signal doesn’t yet seem to be useful outside file tasks.
+ Crazy idea: redo the progress widgets so that they always show
+ the file(s) on which tasks are being performed. Something like:
+ Foo.bar
+ [small, dim text] Duplicating…
+ (======================> )
+ 33 MiB/44 MiB - 3 hours remaining (1 KiB/s)
+ That would lighten the load on tasks/operations/whatchamacallits when
+ creating progress strings.
+ The downside is wasting some vertical space, but that might look better
+ in the end.
+
+ A good thing would be minimizing the degree of separation between
+ tasks and progress info (and their managers), but a problem to solve would
+ be the viewer stuff in the progress info manager.
+
+ Not doing anything about all this for now.
