Progress bar while sending file to printer
While sending large files, there's no way to know the file is being sent until the success message is shown.
If no progress bar is possible, show that a file is being sent until the process is completed.
I think a progress bar should be achievable. Just to check though – in the current version, are you seeing the indeterminate spinner while it transfers, or just a pause?
I see no spinner, just a pause. But if I change the active tab while it's transferring the file, it won't be sent properly.
Ah interesting. Its supposed to have a little spinner like this. I'll have to investigate what's happened to it. I’ll give a little thought to the best way of blocking the other tabs while transferring – I might make the whole wait UI into a dialog.
To help get to the bottom of it would you mind answering aome questions:
- What platform are you running on [Windows .exe / Windows Store / MacOS]?
- Are you seeing this on Adventurer Client 1.0 or 1.1?
- Are you seeing this in light or dark mode?
Thanks
I've seen the spinner a couple of times. On large files it can be seen as well, but sometimes I've got no reaction from UI. This might be coupled with some times when the Status tab also shows no information.
- What platform are you running on [Windows .exe / Windows Store / MacOS]?
Windows Store
- Are you seeing this on Adventurer Client 1.0 or 1.1?
Latest in Store, 1.1.143.
- Are you seeing this in light or dark mode?
Dark mode.
I recently tried this with a 25 MB file, and while it was sending the file I was able to click the Status tab which blew the sending process, and silently failed. Also, I had no way to know how much file was sent before failure.
I think I'll make this UI a blocking dialog while its transferring - The status page wouldn’t be able to show any information while a transfer in in progress anyway, as the printer connection will be in transfer mode when it works a little differently.
