ability to turn off time it took to generate page ( and hence the prompt to go on) #272

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. save a page to html

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

1.1.1 didn't display the time to generate a page and prompt to continue. This 
is a bit useless to me.

I'd like to at least have an option to turn that off so I can continue working 
immediately after save.

This is off in the latest dev version and there is an option to turn it on too.

Well, most files I have take dozen to several dozen seconds to convert to HTML, 
and I do not think I am alone. It is a bad idea to not indicate to the user 
that the program is blocked because of some unfinished operation. Every 
sensibly designed program uses some sort of indication of "busy" for longer 
blocking operations, and we are talking longer longer longer operations here.

The problem with having to press enter: that is very annoying indeed, and is 
due to the way vim works, unfortunately. However, it does not normally happen 
with short status messages like those displayed when converting to HTML.

I suspect that either you work in an extremely narrow window, or you have a 
customized "statusline" option which puts a lot of information on the 
statusline (some people have fileencoding and the char under cursor and other 
things showing), which unfortunately causes conflicts/prompts to press enter.

Can you try to see if you can adjust your settings ("statusline" or 
"laststatus") to solve the issue rather than demanding that the short status 
info from vimwiki be turned off for everyone?

Please read my request. I asked for the ability to turn it off, not to have it 
removed.

habamax further stated that a toggle is already available in dev version.

I did read your request. My comment is not very cheerful, but that is not 
because you filed the issue, it is because I found out the status has been 
turned off by default (which in practice means it won't be available to new 
users, who are most likely to be puzzled by the apparent freezing).

Also, this whole issue gets swept under carpet, with you contributing no 
information that would help to shed light onto the underlying cause (which 
would be very useful for other people who may be affected because they use 
similar configuration to the one you have).
