What do you think the chances are of Apple providing some sort of progress bar when copying files to and from iOS / iPadOS devices from the finder?

Where is this feature? There is no progress indicator at all? No ****** little wheel or teeny-tiny icon in the sidebar?
Did you know that the word cra p py is censorship worthy word? If I am saying it's Kra Ppé I am being polite...

Company worth $3 trillion, yet missing elementary feature like progress bar in 2022 + Ignoring user complaints every other update. WP Apple.

This is symptomatic of Apple's complete disregard for its users. They seem compelled to change things just for the sake of changing things, not because it makes things better. IMO, the Apple Music app is an abject failure as a piece of software. The user experience is truly awful in so many ways. What ***** made the decision to REMOVE a progress indicator of some form when copying files? This is a FUNDAMENTAL part of user interface design. Apple Music came with MacOS Catalina, which was launched in October 2019. Apple has had over TWO YEARS to add a progress indicator and they still haven't done it.
Apple obviously couldn't care less what their users ACTUALLY want...

I don't know what the actual solution would be, but I imagine adding an optional notification name parameter to FileManager would be an easy solution i.e. FileManager.default.copyItem(_ at: URL, _ to: URL, _ notification: Notification.Name?). This way if someone wanted to observe that notification they can query the object or userInfo to get bytes written and time remaining and create any kind of progress status they wanted. I've been digging into this myself and would like to find some kind of solution whether it be notifications, or the ability to perform KVO of FileManager while it working.

Add a CommentI have PURE SPECULATION, no idea if true, BUT:
What if a "progress bar" or "progress indicator" is some kind of patented technology that apple can no longer use without paying someone. So they intentionally removed it. They do get lots of lawsuits. OR... Apple has been moving away from allowing you to save/use your OWN CONTENT that you copied or made yourself and play it back on your apple devices. They have pushed really hard to make you use subscription services like Spotify or Apple Music so that they can turn everything into a stream. They really don't want you to collect or use any media, cept maybe pictures or home movies you make on the device.
