Request for improved progress information

Please provide in the client main window information like the percentage with at least one decimal digit like is done in the Information window. Also provide an estimated duration of the running task.

This kind of information is nice to know especially when a task is running that is very, very slow, like the one I have now running. sad

Thanks in advance, HendrikJo

Re: Request for improved progress information

The big problem is that the client is actually from United Devices and as such it is very difficult for the WCG staff to make changes. They can ask UD to change something but unless (I'm guessing) they make some sort of financial contribution, they it is unlikely to be implemented.

Regarding the completion time, this can be very difficult to guess as one percentage can take a very long time to work out and the other 99% can fly by.

HendrikJo,

Does the "i" button give not enough info? You can read the percentage including 1 decimal there hugs

Keep the CPU smoking, a lot of BIG crunches are sent now.. devilish

Re: Request for improved progress information

I'm a bit lazy, and also I have difficulties with my eyes, so I do not like that I have to click on the 'i' to get detail info, that could have been displayed at the main screen just as easy.
