Granted , some of the animated splashes go overboard , I really want some simple feedback:
1) Immediately after a mouse-click-OK... Did it "take" (The buffered second click may do something OMG unintended)
2) a simple progress marker. Don't *assume*, that I have a Super-Whiz-Bang system that get's it done yesterday.

For the most part, Calibre does inform.
Lack of feedback happens when tasks are handed off to other canned "packages" that Calibre developers just call (and wait for the return).
