I agree, i've implemented in Gaucho a WaitingShape. Which resembles the ones found in the web players (the lines in different angles forming a circle, that rotate an alpha value to denote passage of time). w := WaitingShape on: self. w start. ... w stop. I've used it when importing stored sessions. Fernando On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 2:08 AM, Igor Stasenko <siguctua@gmail.com> wrote:

ah, yeah.. one last thing: - do not show the progress, in situations when there is no timely advance is possible, like waiting for server response: just put a notification line.. but no stupid empty progress line which serves no purpose
