File Browser: Display vital signs while preparing to display files
sy2002 opened this issue · comments
This enhancement idea is inspired by a Discord conversation that starts here:
https://discord.com/channels/719326990221574164/794775503818588200/1232420616154517647
It is about a folder with "a lot of files" in it. First the user claims/thinks that the core/file-browser is frozen, but then "after a while" it displays this warning:
While it is in general advisable to split folders with a ton of files into sub-folders (as people in Discord advise in the above-mentioned conversation), we should not confuse users by a seemingly "frozen" state.
Instead - and this is what this enhancement idea is all about: We should show a progress bar, or if not possible due to unknown overall amount, some "movement" - or as a minimum after a few seconds some "Please wait... Parsing might take up to 30 seconds" or something like that.
P.S. This will need an M2M enhancement, too and therefore other cores will also benefit from this.
