Revise sync implementation to calculate work counts to support progress notification #1317

Open jlewin opened 7 years ago

The current implementation downloads the list of known printers and enumerates local printers to determine and execute any of the following actions are :

Add missing remote printers
Sync remote deletes
Appy remote updates
Apply local edits
Apply local printer additions

These determinations occur inside of differing logic and loop control structures and additional work will be required to perform the work counts before doing the work

Interesting food for thought: Study on progress bar user perceptions found that bars that accelerate towards the end [ex. f(x) = (x+(1-x)/2)^8] are perceived to be faster than linear progress indication.
