Description Blackketter Dean 2007-09-06 22:51:10 UTC

Since the new firmware download can take a few minutes, a progress bar should be displayed.  We should know the overall length of the firmware image from HTTP, right?

Comment 1 Blackketter Dean 2007-10-30 17:33:47 UTC

Let's punt on this and see if users need this.

Comment 2 Dan Evans 2007-11-06 10:57:04 UTC

I would argue that this is valueable UI, and needed.

Indicating the progress I think makes it more fun (yes "fun") by setting expectations on when it'll be ready to go.  If the update will be 15 seconds, great I will hold on the thing while it updates.  If the update will be 3 and 1/2 minutes, I'll set it down while I get a scone.  User experience. :)

Further, if something interrupts the download process having something to indicate that it's halted would help Support a lot.

Comment 3 Blackketter Dean 2007-12-28 11:18:04 UTC

For SN upgrades this may be a big deal.

Comment 4 Richard Titmuss 2008-01-11 06:05:26 UTC

This is fixed in r1380. The percentage of the firmware downloaded is displayed. The UI may need to be changed. Dean please review and reopen the bug if required, with an example from Noah.

Comment 5 Blackketter Dean 2008-01-11 08:04:50 UTC

Would it be possible to move the percentage text to the center of the circle?

Noah: can you provide a reference screen?

An example of the text centered in the widget.  I am not sure how it will look with both the widget and the text animated/moving at the same time...would need to see it on screen.

Comment 9 Richard Titmuss 2008-03-12 04:53:28 UTC

Reset priority

Comment 10 Ben Klaas 2008-04-15 20:30:24 UTC

our skinning is way too finicky to make the centered progress text work for 7.0.1. This is certainly not a big or gating issue. Changing summary to reflect current state of bug and moving target to 7.1.

need to be able to layer text in the center of the screen over the iconConnecting animated image. I have not found a way to do this in Lua.

Comment 11 Ben Klaas 2008-04-16 06:52:26 UTC

added a "Downloading Software" item to TestApplet.lua in 2244. The staging of the fix should be able to be entirely done from this applet.

Comment 12 Ben Klaas 2008-06-06 08:23:56 UTC

this is a non-trivial fix for a cosmetic issue. moving to WONTFIX per Richard's decision. reopen as you desire.
