Improved display of processing status [Solved]
« on: January 09, 2021, 04:25:58 AM »
Hello,

The progress dialog box is of course very helpful, but if you're doing something else while processing a project, you can't see the progress bar any more.
I think there are two ways the current system could be improved :
- some products, such as lightroom, use the software icon in the Windows 10 taskbar to display the current progress of a task. Simple and effective : after shooting 100s of pictures to scan an object, I can export them from Lightroom, do something else, and just by looking at the taskbar, I know if the export process is almost finished or not.
(a screenshot is attached to this post)

- another way to improve the current system could be to display the progress dialog box as "always on top" of other applications. This way we could put it in a corner of the screen while browsing the web, watching a movie, etc, yet still be able to check both the progress status and the estimated remaining time.
Of course, this won't be a feature all user need or want, so this would be an option in the Metashape Preferences and not the default behaviour.

Looks like this feature request has been taken into account : as of 1.8.1, progress indication has been added to the taskbar on Windows.

Thanks a lot !
