Hourglass in long operations (project loading)

(1/8) > >>

iw2nhl:
When you open a big project (CodeBlocks.cbp is a good example), it takes some time to load all files.
C::B seems freezed during that time and nothing informs the user that it is working.
Could an hourglass mouse pointer be added during that time?
Another idea is a progress bar that shows the loading progress.
Obviously the 2 ideas can be used together ;-)

The same thing could be useful for other long operations (if any) except compilation because it already has it's feedback to the user (tool bar buttons that change color and build messages).

I agree. I often re-click, then double click the codeblocks "recent projects"
html selection thinking I didn't hit it right. There's no indication that the user made a choice.

Game_Ender:
We can use wxBeginBusyCursor and wxEndBusyCursor.

Ceniza:
It had a progress bar a long time ago but I don't know why it was removed. Adding the busy cursor sounds good, I just wonder who should add it or provide a patch :)

sethjackson:
Busy cursor sounds good. :)

wxBusyCursor?
