Yes the status bar isnt a prominent area, as the loading process of a document isnt intended to be something prominent, as it should only take a few seconds in the best case scenario. It is only when the loading process takes a long time is it important for the user to even care about it. So to me the infobar or a dialog is would be bad UX, as it brings to much attention to this process, which should be something that users should never think about. Imagine opening the file open dialog, selecting a document to open, and then a dialog flicker infront of you during the loading process and then you see your document after 1 second. Also i tested loading a document and it only draws the UI (menu bar, toolbars, sidebar, etc) after the document is fully loaded, so not sure that we could provide an infobar in that scenario. > The question what LibO is doing meanwhile was > asked to think about a threaded process so the user doesnt need to wait. But > she has nothing to do on the other hand. Yes ideally you should be able to work on an already open document, while another document is being loaded, but i dont think LO has threaded processes yet. Firefox just got it a few days ago. :D -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Having the progress bar with a cancel button in the notification area or in a dialog provides more control as a side effect. The question what LibO is doing meanwhile was asked to think about a threaded process so the user doesnt need to wait.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49701 --- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze --- (In reply to Thomas Lendo from comment #5) > Where could such an abortion button be placed when there is no file dialog > open? Only pressing ESC would make sense imho. Lengthy operations (>500ms) have to go into background but feedback is still needed. That's typically done with a progress bar in the statusbar (or the address bar in case of Internet browsers) where the cancel button would fit well. While UX can easily demand such a feature it is likely a challenge for the developers. Escape is not a good idea as it could be pressed accidentally. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
