Moar progressbars! #32

Closed nekohayo closed 3 years ago

nekohayo commented 3 years ago

Sometimes, especially with slower internet connections or latency, it can take a second or two to preview fonts, or many seconds to download+install, or to load more items in the list of fonts. In all of those situations, I think the app should show a progressbar (or spinner, or something) to indicate that something is going on and the UI (or operation) is not ready/done.

After clicking the "Install" button on the various "Fira" fonts, for example, the app locked up for nearly a minute on my end. While that is an extreme case I suppose, it would be nice if there was a progressbar or something.

Thank you for your suggestions, I'll work on them since they seem nescessary

Thanks! You will probably have to do some work to make the UI not block on the main loop/thread while stuff is happening async in the background, ideally :)

Implemented and pushed to master!
