Usability: Waitcursor and progress bar not shown always

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...

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.

There are more, but Google decided I've had enough for now and politely escorted me to the door
