Status Bar #16

Closed jimjonesbr closed 11 years ago

jimjonesbr commented 11 years ago

A status message to inform the user that a query is being performed is desired. Depending on the internet connection speed, the query is really taking long and there is no info that something is being processed.

I will try to exchange the "Connect" Button and will add a spinner gif.

mpfeil commented 11 years ago

Added a spinner animation. If the user clicks the icon of the button changes and when the query is finished the icon changes back to the normal icon.

@jimjonesbr maybe you can test it. my internet connection was really fast so it hard to see the spinner.

jimjonesbr commented 11 years ago

I think the main problem is while the user is performing queries, not connecting to the triple store. Connecting to endpoint is quite fast, but querying between the thousand of statements takes time and the user should be informed that something is going on.

Shall I reopen the ticket?

mpfeil commented 11 years ago

@jimjonesbr If i understand you right you mean the queries if the user choose a property?

jimjonesbr commented 11 years ago

@mpfeil actually it would be good for any type of operation which might require some time to process (mostly queries, e.g. listing properties, listing feature of interests, etc..). From time to time, the application gets very slow (still need to check if it's because internet or architecture) and the user has no feedback that something is being performed, besides of the fact the application freezes :-)

mpfeil commented 11 years ago

I will try to find a solution. If you have some ideas where to place it just let me know.

mpfeil commented 11 years ago

I found a way to show a loading animation. It is a small status bar at the bottom of the window like you know it from the application template of nasa. I will show you today :smile: now :sleeping:
