pause/resume and combinations processed #12

Open kuzman opened 3 years ago

Hi,

is it possible to have a pause/resume function so that in a case where it requires more time to process to be able to pause the process and resume once the PC is available. Also it would be nice to see the number of combinations processed, in this case the user would get a sense that the program is running and how far/close it is to resolution.

Thanks!

It could be possible but requires many changes in the code to handle splitting the work between threads and have a way to store and reuse them.

Also it would be nice to see the number of combinations processed, in this case the user would get a sense that the program is running and how far/close it is to resolution.

There is a progress bar at the bottom of the window. It is disabled for cases where it takes a very short time to complete (like a WIF missing 4 characters) but will give a visual representation for any long cases that use multiple threads.
As soon as next stable version of the UI used here is released the progress bar will also have a percentage shown on top of it.
Do you have anything else in mind?
