VCF Upload progress bar doesn't show progress of single file. #344

Closed meatcar closed 10 years ago

meatcar commented 10 years ago

When uploading a large VCF, the progress bar in the notification dialog does not update at all, but instead remains empty for the duration of the upload:

2014-07-18-125733_2560x1600_scrot

It should be either fixed, or removed, and the progress should be displayed in a different section of the application (i.e. Task Manager)

To be more specific, the current progress bar only shows the number of file uploads completed, if uploading multiple files in a batch.

Agreed that the current implementation is not ideal, and rightly noted that it's an omission in reporting progress within an file's upload.

However, based on feedback provided by users, you should not have to check the Task Manager to check the status of an upload, so this functionality should not be removed. More generally, the Task Manager is designed for expert use only, and for debugging issues, and should not be used to house functionality that a casual user is expected to see.
