[FR] Add asynchronous printing progress bar #8511

Open wolflu05 opened 19 hours ago

wolflu05 commented 19 hours ago

Please verify that this feature request has NOT been suggested before.

Problem statement

This error has come up several times now, so I created an issue for it to track it:

When printing using asynchronous printing mechanisms (that do not directly return a file), printing works, but the following error is shown along a success message:

Error: The label could not be generated

Image

Suggested solution

Implement a progress bar in the notification, which updates and resolves when printing is done.

That would be great, good FR @wolflu05 !

This would be great. With the same mechanism we can finally also offload report generation to the background process (and show progress in the UI).
