RE: [TSVN] Log Dialog small Bug and suggestions

Hi Steve,

Yesterday was a holiday in Germany which I spent working in the garden. Now
I'm working my way through a backlog of mails.

For example a status line at the bottom that goes through several steps and
displays a text. For example:
- Looking up server...
- Contacting repository...
- Fetching revision numbers...
- More steps...
- Fetching log messages (now the progress bar is active?!?)

If there are more steps, just add them.

Another, maybe better possibility. If you reserve 20% of the progress bar
for the actions *before* the log messages are fetched, each step above would
just be a step on the progress bar.
For an application I wrote, I implemented a recursive progress bar, where I
could pass the handle and a range of the progress bar (0%..20%) to a
subroutine, which uses this range as its own 100% range, can pass a subrange
on to another subroutine and so on. This made it terribly easy to make a
progress bar follow recursion without any of the subroutines knowing
anything about each other. This progressbar doesn't (cannot) reflect the
real duration of each subroutine, but there's progress all the time :-)

Cheers
