Progress indicator when downloading updates #310

Open danirabbit opened 6 months ago

danirabbit commented 6 months ago

Problem

When downloading quite a lot of updates the view redundantly shows "downloading" without any kind of indication of how long this might take.

Proposal

It would be nice to have a progressbar or at least like "10/200 MB" to have an idea that there is progress being made

I've created three mockups to visualize potential solutions:

Time Remaining An estimated time remaining for the download to complete

Time

File Size Progress The amount of data downloaded out of the total download size

MB

The Number of Completed Updates Indicates the number of completed updates out of the total

Tasks

I think providing this progress indicator is important for the visibility of system status, ensuring users have a clear understanding of the update process and reducing uncertainty during updates.

Would love to hear your feedback on this!
