exportlegends should show a progress bar

Open myk002 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

The UI appears to freeze for a long time while exportlegends is doing its thing. It should show an onscreen progress bar so the user doesn't have to worry if something has hung.

Any particular stages of exportlegends you have in mind? Some call out to DF, and DF performs blocking operations where we can't easily inject a progress bar. Our own "custom" data export should be possible to add progress info to, though.

I think it's during our custom stages that the UI appears frozen. The DF-controlled export stages do show UI activity. If we only show a progress bar for the custom export, that will probably be sufficient.
