Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-06-18 16:40:09 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.82)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

while creating a backtrace please provide some even minimal progress indicator

User cannot be sure if KDE crash handler is still working. Even something ugly like old
/-\|
would be better than nothing.

I'm implementing something similar in my new DrKonqi proposal ( currently at: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/drkonqi-newdialog/ )
During the backtrace generation progress there is a label "generating backtrace", a clock icon + a Busy mouse cursor , and the text moving while it's loading the backtrace

The new DrKonqi implementation was moved to 4.3trunk.
It features a progressbar, a "Loading message", busy cursor and the text appearing as it is being loaded from GDB. (I guess it is enough :) )
