Emacs 25.1, Dired+
When I copy files from one folder to another Emacs NOT show a progress. So I don't know when the process will be finish (not show estimated time).
Does exist any package for this?
Thanks.

This is the emacs init file from https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/, does anyone knows what's the package make the highlight of recent changes in left margin? Thanks.
Also, this emacs profile has a function, when the cursor stays on a word (goto-char in the figure) for around 3 seconds, all of its other occurrence in the buffer are highlighted as well. Please also let me know what's the packages achieving that.
Appreciate the help.
I can't be sure, but these are likely matches since I found both on the list of packages that are installed with the config (elpa folder).
The highlight after 3 seconds is a feature provided by the highlight-symbol package, available through Melpa. You can customise the amount of time it requires to highlight the symbol with the highlight-symbol-idle-delay variable.
The other is diff-hl, which doesn't highlight recently changes, rather it highlight lines that are uncommited, if the file is under a particular version system (git, most likely). Also available on melpa
Most likely it is the diff-hl mode. The mode highlights uncommitted changes in the current file on the margin or the fringe. It is included in the config you linked to: https://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/init-vc.el.
I have two windows open in my Emacs session. Both are remote files opened using tramp. I make a change in window A and switch to window B without saving file in window A. When Emacs decides to autosave, the buffer displayed in window B is switched to the buffer from window A that was autosaved. This only happens when using tramp, not local files.
Another thing I have noticed is, that if I have the same file opened in two windows, because I need to reference something at another position in the file and save the file, the buffer I'm in sometimes jumps to the position that the point is in the other window, so I have to move around to get back to the place where I was editing.
Is this a bug or is there some setting that I have(n't) set? I suspect it is something related to refreshing the windows when saving.
i'm using Emacs 24.3 on OSX, but I have seen this using Linux too.
Sounds very much like a bug, to me. Can you reproduce this starting from emacs -Q (i.e., with no init file)?
If so, use M-x report-emacs-bug to give Emacs Dev the recipe. If not, bisect your init file recursively until you locate the culprit code. Then ask for more help here, if it's not clear how to fix the problem.
I installed Matlab and set the path. After that, only the command window, the command history and the workspace windows were visible. I couldn't find the current folder window anywhere (it did not even appear in the desktop tab). After typing in the command window "filebrowser" an error appears. Suddenly, I get the current folder window but it is not accessibe or there is an error as It doesn't show any of the files and folders on it.
I attach a picture of the Matlab screenshot where you can see the error displayed in the command window and how the current folder window appears.
Any help? What is the problem? How can solve this problem?
Any help is much appreaciated.
Thanks in advance
Consider increasing heap space. The reason for the error is because Java doesn't have enough memory. The error message is however very generic and could be particular to your workflow, but with the command history in the picture, I do not see a problem. Do follow the technical support solution for increasing heap space - http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-18I2C/
Got an assignment due,
Trying to save the files that I've just coded over the original skeleton files, and then move them to my desktop, every time i save all or save as, then click yes to overwrite them in the place i have the project saved, I take them off my computer, and put them onto the desktop, and they are just skeletons that have no work that I have put in them, just what we were given for the original assignment.
Any ideas?
It's because you're a fool and are looking in the wrong workspace.
When I am working with files on my project I normally have four windows open viewing four different folders in the four quadrants of the screen. My morning ritual involves having to manually open these four folders, takes only a few moments but I was hoping to find a way to automate this with Windows XP?
Any ideas?
You can write a batch file with these commands:
start c:\myfolder1
start c:\myfolder2
start c:\myfolder3
start c:\myfolder4
or, since Bart said in the comments on this answer, he uses this method:
explorer c:\myfolder1 (etc...)
and then run that any way you wish (on Start up, via a shortcut...)
As for saving their position on the screen, I don't know much about that, but you could try using Winsplit Revolution. That will let you use hotkeys to reposition windows (Ctrl+Alt+Numpad 7 moves a window to the top left).
