Re: [Columba-devel] Minor flaws found in 1.0 M1.1

[Riyad K. <rs...@em...>]

Actually this status-bar issue came up before, and I thikn Frederik had 
a comment or two on it, but I don't remember what he suggested we do.

I do agree with karl however, there have been a few times where I was 
waiting for Columba to finish something before I kept working (just to 
avoid loosing emails or crashing it) and it turns out it had finished 
already.

Take for example MS Word or Adobe Photoshop, when you save something, 
you get a progress bar and some text in the status bar saying "Saving 
..." and when its done it disappears. If the words stayed there 
"Saving..." the user would be waiting forever becuse they would think 
that the program was still saving their file.

It would be nice to add a simple hook to status bar that allowed a 
"reset" or "clear" method that can be implicitly called by most (all?) 
actions after they are done...

What do you guys think?

The problem is that it can make the user think that the command is not yet finished. I don't know whether this can be solved in a general way, or each command should blank the statusbar when done (some texts such as "No new messages on the server" makes sence to keep in the statusbar).
