Version: 0.90 SVN (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) OS: Linux While I appreciate the need to display feedback to the user that an action is happening, I'm not sure that a flashing bright green text block is the best way to provide the feedback in this case. A bouncing progress bar or similar might work better - the type where the block goes back and forth, rather than 0 -> 100%. Alternately, an animate image, such as a pair of interlocked cog wheels might work. Just anything but blink? Please? :)

Well, for me the main problem is that computing the histogramm takes so long (in particular for large images and raw images ....). Maybe one could compute a coarser histogram first (i.e. based on a size reduced image, similar the embedded preview for raw) and compute the "real" histogramm in the background, in a separate thread?
It's not usually computing that takes long, but loading the image before computing the histogram. And for the histogram, other than preview view, using a thumbnail or a preview is often not sufficient.
