Description Johannes Meixner 2008-05-08 10:13:59 UTC

Creating the scanner database takes about 10 seconds.
Currently there is only a simple static busy message.
A proceeding progress bar would look nicer.

Comment 1 Thomas Göttlicher 2008-05-08 10:35:58 UTC

There exist a busy indicator widget that might be useful.

Please have a look at this example:

Comment 2 Johannes Meixner 2008-05-08 15:56:48 UTC

Thanks for the hint regarding BusyIndicator
but as far as I see such a BusyIndicator does not
have the progress bar functionality to show an rising
percentage until it is finished so that the user can
estimate how long it takes.

I use DownloadProgress which works well for GUI
(with a HasSpecialWidget test and a fallback for ncurses)
and looks nicely in Qt and o.k. in GTK.
