Incorrect "Scanning Dirs" percentage in window title when scanning

Reproducible

Minor Bug
TB

Trevor Barnes

last year

When I scan my "To Scan" directory the window title of the progress dialog shows "Scanning Dirs - 100% complete".

But it just started, it is not 100% complete and therefore confusion when looking at the title in the Windows taskbar it would help if I see values like 75% or 90%. Or no percentage value.

It is for sure a minor, more or less cosmetic bug...

Suggested solutions (if I did not misunderstood the intention):

1) Just show "Scanning Dirs" or "Scanning Dirs - in progress..."

2) Update the title with the correct percentage value each time the value increases

3) Show instead the current dir name that is currently scanned, e.g. "Scanning dir: To Sort" with a relative (short) path that might work...

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Scan a ToSort directory with many subdirs

  2. Notice as its scanning the title bar says 100% complete

This is still present in recent 3.7.x builds.

If you have a bunch of directories in ToSort the scanning totals are not much use:

There is a plan for a new/future scanning engine which would resolve this problem.
