Hi,

I suspect this has already been asked a few times but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Is there a feature request to get a dialogue box to appear when saving a 
project?

I'm asking because if the knock on impact of Covid is more people working from 
home and using home broadband then I feel like there may need to be a greater 
level of user feedback. To give an example if I take a project file of about 
4MB and save it locally it is finished in seconds (definitely under a minute) 
but if I take the same project file and save it to a network location via a VPN 
then the save time is longer; say a minute or two. Based on my investigation 
this seems to match up with peoples home broadband as in the UK the upload 
speed is pretty variable / often quite poor when compared with download speeds.

I think it would be useful if there was a dialog that appears if a part of the 
process takes longer than x seconds. The dialog might say:

  *   Creating project file
  *   Saving to disk
  *   Saving backup

I think those are the main tasks involved in the save but it would be useful if 
the user is told that it is saving to disk but taking a while as hopefully they 
will then investigate their connection speed first.

Not to worry if this has already been discussed and rejected but I thought I'd 
ask to see what the options / opinions are.

Thanks,
Paul
