When using XnView, the user accesses various media with differening speed: Hard disk, memory cards, virtual disks via USB cable. Some of the media is slow and thus the actions applied are slow. For many actions, XnView shows a wait cursor and or displayes the progress in the statusbar. There's still some actions which provide no feedback while processing.
- Copy + Paste:
When copying and pasting files in the same directory, XnView does nothing for a while. Then the progress bar occurs which mainly indicates that the thumbnails for the new files are built.
- Deletion
When deleting file there's no user feedback.
- Deleting entries (folders) in the thumbnail cache
When deleting entries in the thumbnail cache, XnView remains idle for a while. Again there's no user feedback.
I'm quite sure that there are more actions...
Usability: Waitcursor and progress bar not shown always

Applying Photoshop compatible filters would be another scenario where it's hard to tell if XnView is still busy or if the plug-in has frozen.helmut wrote:I'm quite sure that there are more actions...
