When i copy something with Nautilus i get a progress-bar with time count-down. Depending in how long it will take, it starts counting down e.g 3 min, 2 min, 1 min... and when 1 minute has passed, it starts counting down from 59 seconds. (And copy is not the only program to use this way of counting down)
I feel the last report of 1 min should really be 2 min. And the same is true if the countdown starts from 1 hour, it could very well 1 hour and 59 min. Saying there is 1 hour left makes me believe that the process will be finished in less then 1 hour.
I do understand that, saying it's 2 hours left is a bit much, if there is only 1 hour and 1 minute left. But this is the way I would prefer it. Any other opinions?
