Will fix.
I implemented this and I can't say the new mode is a new improvement. As you point out, startin at 0% means you don't know how many more completions there are. But if the position indicator has a minimum that is above 0%, then when scrolling back up a completion list, you have no idea how near the top you are. The problem is the same only in a different place. There is a lot of room on the last line of the completion pager, one could do more than give a single number. The main problem I see with that is how to make this intuitive. For example, showing two different percentages would mean noting. There are two main possibilities I see. 1). 'Graphical' progress meter If you are displaying completions 0-100 out ouf 400 it could look like this: #####____________ and when displaying completions 50-100 out of 400, it would look like this __##____________ 2). Pages Tell the user rougly what 'page' of output the are seeing. If you are displaying completions 0-100 out ouf 400 it could look like this: page 1 of 4 and when displaying completions 50-100 out of 400, it would look like this page 2 of 8 Opinions? > > > > > greetings, martin. > > -- > > cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and > > unix > > offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the > > world > > -- > > pike programmer travelling and working in europe > > open-steam.org > > unix system- bahai.or.at > > iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at > > administrator (caudium|gotpike).org > > is.schon.org > > Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
