Hi akshat ;)
OBJECT TITLE IN PROGRESS BAR

while copying, display the title of the object being copied in the progress bar.
putting this information anywhere else in the dialog window doesn't make too much sense.
No!
 
:D - ok, no then.
how would you prefer that to be represented? i just started questioning my own resolve in this point..
Oh lol.I read it is Object Progress in the Title Bar.Yeah I agree with you on this one .Shouldn't answer e-mails half asleep

 
 
REMOVE GEEKY INFORMATION
don't display details like filesize vs transferred data.
the progress bar should indicate that sufficiently.
perhaps add a [ + ] button for details on the operation.

This isn't geeky information anymore.It is also on Windows Vista/7

my role model while thinking of an intuitive user interface is not windows, rather the human behaviour itself.
we don't depend on such static business models here, like microsoft's interaction designers do..

Oh lol.I thought you were talking about file transfer rate.I shouldn't answer e-mails half asleep XD.I agree with you

i think we should make that information (progress) dynamic:

* < 1.5 sec : change mouse pointer to indicate progress
* >= 1.5 sec < 3 sec : show a progress bar with cancel button
* >= 3 sec : increase verboseness, add pause button

in mockups we should consider the possibility of stacking a couple of progress bars for indicating multiple objects' progress.
Awesome Idea
