Just saw this, I know its a bit pedantic, but damn is it really so hard to make sure your numbering is right for your distro? This is the main one 25.04, the one that the 'download' button downloads.

A picture of three Kubuntu installation slides, one says 9/12 the second says 11/13 the third says 11/12. They were put in order seen in the slides.

The single hardest problem in computer science is naming things.

And counting things.

    They should just remove the numbering. It's less maintenance, and it's not that important anyway, is it?

    Shouldn’t the numbering be rendered programmatically? What are they manually adding this text to each slide??

    You'd think, but there's always so much jank.

    I'm guessing what happened is that they didn't have numbering, and then later the people making the slides decided to add the numbers. There might be a ticket for programmatic numbers, but it'd be buried under a thousand other ones that are more important.

    I'm unsure this is the proper place for this, since its such a minor, non debilitating problem, I think the Kubuntu forums is the better choice? What do you think?

    As another dev I agree with the other reply. Even if it seems really small, it still is something that should eventually get fixed and therefore can be considered a bug. It makes it easier to track everything that needs to be done if it is all in thr bug tracker. Worst case scenario if it is considered irrelevant it will just be given an extremely low priority in the bug tracker.

    Looks like the windows school of counting

    To be fair, estimating file copy/move progress correctly is hard.

    The most correct way would probably be to group small, medium and large files , so you don't get random small access, then cross-reference that with prior saved disk benchmarks. But you know, a bit over the top.

    Although the grouping (and tar-ing the small files) would speed up the copy/move.

    i mean if you can't give an estimate, don't give an estimate. otherwise you're just lying to the user and making things harder for them.

    just show how much of the data has been processed and let the user make of that what they wish.
