Move the progress bar every time it downloads that much data. I mean, if the user is downloading a huge file, she isn't going to be expecting the bar to move too quickly.

Quote: float jj=0; gdouble new_val; flaot prog_filesize; jj=100/prog_filesize; printf("jjjjjjjj %f \n",jj); new_val = gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction (GTK_PROGRESS_BAR (pbar)) + jj; here file size is 1221948. and here how can i know estimated time to copy perticular size of a file... remaining time to copy a file.... gor example i selected a folder of 1Gb and copied to other file. here a window will appeared with progressbar... there is a progress and estimated time to copy... after copying the 1Gb file the window will closing. how can i do this all by programatically thank you in advance Back to top openldev Never Seen the Sunlight Joined: 21 Sep 2005 Posts: 386 Location: Fairfax, Virginia Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 12:53 pm    Post subject: I think what you need to do is use a timer. Every so often, check how long it has been, and how much data has been transfered. From that, you can estimate how much time it will take for the rest of the data to transfer.

You can create a timeout that is called every 500 milliseconds or so: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#g-timeout-add Then, you figure out how much of the file has been transferred thus far. If you have a global variable that is incremented every time the timeout is called, you will know about how long it has taken to transfer that much data. For example, let us assume that your file is 500KB, and when the timeout is called the second time, 100KB has already been copied. Then, we know it took 1000 milliseconds (2 timeouts * 500 milliseconds) to transfer 20% of the file. So, it should take about 4000 milliseconds to transfer the remaining 80%. You continually do this until the file is transferred.
