Better visual feedback while parsing libraries #57

Open iljaiwas opened 9 years ago

iljaiwas commented 9 years ago

When using the library parsers provided by Apple such as (com.apple.medialibrary.iPhoto.image or com.apple.medialibrary.Photos.image) with large libraries, there can be large delay (up to 20s) before library nodes appears in the outline view of the media browser window.

Some of our testers even gave up and reported that the app was broken.

I suggest some kind of global progress spinner, that's displayed until all parsers are done parsing, so users have some indication that the application is still actively doing something.

@iljaiwas While I cannot reproduce this behavior (probably due to lack of a library of equivalent size) I am hearing similar complaints from other users as well. We would like to speed up the library initialization process substantially but would need a tester with an appropriate test library for verification. Can you help out with this?

Thanks for adding a progress indicator while parsing the Photos library, but why isn't it transparent? ;) screen shot 2016-03-03 at 08 26 31
