** Description changed: When a Preview needs to fetch online data, it can take a moment before being displayed. After a click on a result, there is no visual feedback on what is happening and no way to know if the click has been acknoweldged by the Dash. This could be fixed in different ways: - Showing a spinner on the result icon. - Showing a spinner on the cursor. - Instantly opening the preview pane, with, as a transition : the result icon on the left pane, the result title on the right, a spinner on top (the same as the one appearing when navigating between previews) and updating the content when the actual preview data is here. ----------------------------------- Desired solution: - 1. Reduce the incidence of this happening by speculatively pre-cacheing - the preview data. This pre-cacheing should start as soon as the results - finish loading into the screen, and should continue until the user exits - the Dash, performs another search, or opens a preview. When the user - opens a preview, results subsequent to the preview should start pre- - cacheing. - - 2. When the user opens a preview that is not pre-chached, the preview + When the user opens a preview that is not pre-chached, the preview should open instantly, and the content should then load into the already opened preview. A spinner can be displayed in the place of the image to inform the user that the preview is loading. - - Note the pre-caching is very important to reduce the incidence of the - user seeing the loading state. All major browsers currently - speculatively pre-cache content, so if we are match user's expectations - regarding speed of content display (shaped by using web browsers) this - is something we really need to do.
