Enhancement proposal: progress bar in silx view whel loading volumes or stacks #1761

Hi Silx,

I've begun using Silx in BL09 (Soft X-Ray Tomography Beamline) at ALBA. In the past we were using hdfview, but we are going to debian9, and hdfview has a bug not corrected in debain9 which does not allow to see the content of hdf5 files. First of all, thanks for this great application of Silx Viewer.

I have observed that when loading some volumes or stacks of images this is taking some time. Maybe a progress bar during the loading of big hdf5 files would be a good option. Just an idea as a possible enhancement proposal.

Cheers,

It's an interesting idea. @t20100 want to do it for the iso surface viewer. For other parts it can be complicate to implement as python is not well designed to use threads.

I will take a look. Maybe something can be done easily.
