Export dialog while exporting

When exporting full database to Local Storage, the export dialog becomes unresponsive, and there is no Abort button; this becomes necessary when the process takes more than a few seconds.

I had to kill Digikam process whan I realized my export was not what I expected.

I forgot to mention, that there is no progress indicator either, which is why I killed the process in the first place : I thought the program was frozen.
Currently I have to use Windows Task manager to check for network and disk usage, to guess when the program has finished the export !

Theoretically, the copying progress can be tracked by the decreasing image list. I'll add a progress bar later.

Maik,

Remember to use the DProgressWdg will dispatch progress info in the progress manager instance. It can be also cancelled at in this place. It's used in TimeAdjust plugin...

My best
