Always

Comment 1 Pádraig Brady 2007-04-03 09:16:06 UTC

Hmm. For and against for that.
I didn't do that because one can click the stop button while processing.
To me, a "busy" cursor means the GUI is not currently responsive to input.
What do you think?

Comment 2 Bernard Johnson 2007-04-03 16:23:54 UTC

Well, if it's only accepting cancel button, it wouldn't be considered
"responsive to input".

For example, in the gnome HIG, you have busy cursors and busy interactive
cursors.  Perhaps you'd like to do something similar.

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/feedback-types.html

The point is that the user gets some visual feedback that an operation is
ongoing and that parts of the gui may not be available.

Comment 3 Pádraig Brady 2007-04-03 16:39:01 UTC

Ok I'm convinced. Sorry I didn't mean to close the
bug previously. I'll fix that for the next version.

Comment 4 Pádraig Brady 2007-05-28 15:51:56 UTC

That was quite tricky actually.
FYI, I documented my trials and tribulations here:
