Message filter for activity indicator

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I suggest that you might consider making wpkg-gp do the following

Extend the option "Show an activity indicator" by a choice what messages to be 
displayed.
For instance I'd like to have just the messsage "Software XY 
installing/updating" displayed, but not the "Waiting for service to start" and 
"Verifying" message.

The waiting for service and verifying messages are added to make it easier for 
an admin to understand what part of the process is taking time, and what is 
happening.

What messages would you like to see in place of "Waiting for the serivice to 
start" Which in reality is the wpkg-gp Group policy extension executed by 
winlogon, waiting for the services part of windows startup to catch up, as it 
communicates with the services. I really believe a meaningful message should be 
shown when this happens.

The verifying messages are what wpkg.js itself produces. Maybe this could be 
changed to a more generic "Verifying state of installed software"?

I look forward to your feedback

I'd just like to have the opportunity to suppress the "Waiting for.." message 
as well as the "Verifying" message, so clients would just see the message 
"Updating Software XY" when it needs to be updated, but no message if no 
updates are necessary ;-)

Don't want to get rid of these messages generally, just an option to suppress 
specific messages (if wanted) would be great.

Thank you

I'd say that if Issue #7 were solved (issue is about customizing/localizing 
notification strings), you could easily set a string "Veryfing %s" into some 
less meaningful message not containing "%s" :)
