Loader functions for all relevant view panels... #18

Closed jamiewaese closed 10 years ago

Download status bars should indicate download progress for each tool, as it pertains to the currently selected gene.

OK so basically a getLoaderStatus function for each view... I'll add it as an overridable function to the abstract View class. Keep in mind though, that some views may not be able to provide any useful info on loading progress, if a large amount of data is being requested with a single query. (e.g. Reactome)

That's a good point.

One thing I found on GeneSlider and also the EFPs I made, the data processing often takes more time than the download. Calculating bit scores, generating objects, for each item in the array... It can be slow. The status monitor will be comforting.

Let's put this til last. Right now, we only have one view so it'll be annoying to develop and test for this since most of the loading icons will just be place-holders. I've placed an abstract method for View classes in the framework for retrieving load progress.
