GUI Progress Bar not Updating for Reforge Plots

[navv1234]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1015

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Just started simulation and waited for the finish.

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

I expected the result output.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

sim 4.3-1 on Win7

Please provide any additional information below.

It just doesn't show the result, I see "plot mastery" step (the last parameter to plot
in settings) at 100%. And CPU usage is about 100%.

how long did you wait? Can you include the profile and sim settings you used? What was
the progress bar doing?  GUI or command line?

I waited for a couple of hours after the progression bar has been at 100%. It was GUI
interface.

profile i tried to simulate:

You're telling the simulator to do scale factor calculation for all stats, DPS plots
for all stats, *and* a generate tri-stat reforge plot data. This will take much longer
than "a couple of hours" on almost any computer, so you'll just have to wait longer.

I guess the real issue here may be that we need make sure all of these things are included
in the progress bar in the GUI?

[navv1234]

Yes, it could really help to see every major operation at the progress bar. In my case,
reforge plot status should be seen there after dps plots are over.

Thanks a lot!

We may also want to add a disclaimer that says if you simulate all this at once, be
ready to wait a long time and that your chart will have so much information on it at
once, that you won't be able to read it.
