Adding a status list and removing the loading window

[风之暇想]

Loading multiple files requires waiting for the loading window to respond; too slow;
Suggest removing loading window and adding loading status, see image;
While the first volume is loading, it is also possible to continue loading the second volume.

Thank you for your valuable feedback and for the detailed images illustrating your suggestions.

Regarding the loading process for multiple files, I understand that the current loading window can seem slow and may appear unresponsive. Your proposal to remove this window and replace it with a loading status is insightful. However, it's important to note that VeraCrypt currently performs mount operations sequentially and synchronously. This means the VeraCrypt client must wait until the driver has completed the mount operation for each file before proceeding to the next.

To implement the functionality you've described, we would need to enhance the driver to support asynchronous mounting operations. This would allow the UI to remain responsive and enable multiple volumes to load simultaneously. Your idea to allow users to continue with other operations while a volume is loading is excellent and would indeed improve the user experience significantly. I will consider this for future updates, as it would require a substantial update to the driver and the UI.

As for the Favorite Volumes functionality, your suggestion to allow for disk drive modification and to move the PIM option higher in the UI are straightforward UI changes that could be incorporated more easily. I will add it to my todo list.

Looking forward to the day of realization.
