[Zinc] Progress bar during download?
Hi, is there a way how to show progress bar during download of a big files using #downloadTo: message of the ZnClient? The image is not responsive for a long time and users may think it's frozen. example: ZnClient new url: ' http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/27.0/runtimes/xulr... '; downloadTo: 'xulrunner.zip'. Cheers, -- Pavel
Pavel, I am surprised that a die hard hacker like you could not find it yourself ;-) Anyway, this is how you do it: UIManager default informUserDuring: [ :bar | [ ZnClient new url: 'http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/27.0/runtimes/xulr...'; signalProgress: true; downloadTo: 'xulrunner.zip' ] on: HTTPProgress do: [ :progress | bar label: progress printString. progress isEmpty ifFalse: [ bar current: progress percentage ]. progress resume ] ]. First you enable progress signalling, then you catch HTTPProgress and do something with it. Sven On 25 Feb 2014, at 09:04, Pavel Krivanek <pavel.krivanek@gmail.com> wrote:

:-) Thank you, Sven. I realized that sometimes the best hack is to ask :-) Others could find that useful too. Cheers, -- Pavel 2014-02-25 9:37 GMT+01:00 Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven@stfx.eu>:

Or: [ :bar | [ ZnClient new url: ' http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/27.0/runtimes/xulr... '; signalProgress: true; downloadTo: 'xulrunner.zip' ] on: HTTPProgress do: [ :progress | bar label: progress printString. progress isEmpty ifFalse: [ bar current: progress percentage ]. progress resume ] ] asJob run.
