I use Gwenview for images lying on a remote sftp server. 

Depending on the size of the images and the connection it may take a few seconds until they are updated upon pressing F5, hence it's unclear if loading has finished yet and the image has changed or it I still got to be more patient.

It would be very convenient to have a loading spinner in the image-viewing window ,while the image is fetched from the remote server.
