Bug#380208: fslint: some progress indication would be fine
Package: fslint Version: 2.16-1 Severity: wishlist This program really should have some progress indication when searching, like a progress bar or filling (and showing) the list of finds or both. I had to ask 'top' if the app is still alive... :o) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (150, 'testing'), (100, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages fslint depends on: ii python2.3.5-11 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-glade2 2.8.6-3GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gtk2 2.8.6-3Python bindings for the GTK+ widge fslint recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Of course, a percentage would be great (if it doesn't slow down things too much), but something moving would at least tell the user that there's still something going on. :o) In many cases an output to the results list (while still processing) could be interesting as well, I guess.

I guess I could look at providing output of the number of files processed or something like that, but that would be useless info though. Would a spinner like web browsers do be sufficient? I guess I could add a progress bar that just moves forward and back to indicate the app is working, and if any (future) functionality allows % complete feedback, that can displayed using the same widget. Ok I'll work on that for 2.17 cheers, Pádraig. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, I see that you fiddle with find (looked via top/ps) to see which files have the same content as others. I don't know exactly how you feed those to md5sum, but one thing that would give the user an *approximate* percentage idea would be to see how many files have already been md5sum'ed. I don't know (internally---I'm too lazy to read the code right now) how you decide which ones have the same contents (perhaps using a hash/dictionary keyed by the md5sum of the file?) but wouldn't this work? Or, at least, something more or less like what I described above. I'm just brainstorming here... :-) Anyway, thank you very much for your efforts, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
