@donho is it possible to see the effect with a different language where the word is bigger and it could be cut? (like Italian, French or Spanish: the label was cut)

All 3 solutions above enlarge the current translation length.

As long as you’re changing it anyway… maybe:

Hits: n in n files (aligned to the left)
Scanned: n of n files (aligned to the right)

would offer more complete progress tracking (assuming all four of those accumulators are available where the dialog is updated). Personally, I like the text better on a separate line than on the same line as Cancel, but I would put it below the progress bar and above the button, rather than above the bar.

@Coises goes with choice “D”. :-)

I coded the Hits: thing, and my memory may be weak and it isn’t worth looking up, but I believe doing anything more than what’s there now was rejected.

This poll is only concerned with positioning, not content enhancement (if I’m interpreting it correctly).

93 views (so far) and only 6 votes (so far).
Even a @donho authored poll can’t get viewers to participate. :-(

Since there are more votes for “C” now, I’ll add that I agree with @Coises that it would be nicer to see the progress bar between the pathname and the Hits:

Not necessarily.
As far as there’s no performance issue, and it doesn’t make the code more complex, I’m OK with it.
You can create an issue after checking the feasibility, and ping me - I will assign to you the issue.

Damn! I’m losing!
We need a special edition: “Stand with Don”!

I think maybe it was the “complexity” that was the problem. <Lazy>I should look it up though</Lazy>.

It sounded like maybe @Coises was more interested in pursuing that type of change, although as a user I would like to have it. :-)

@Alan-Kilborn,
Sticking by my choice. If it was there before, and wasn’t noticed, no need to move it now, except to put it back in the place it was before the regression. :-)

A is 1000% better! As the original bug whisperer, I hereby invoke my “First Reporter Privilege” and decree that my vote should count as 10! 🎉✨
