Kovid,
The recent post about calibre responding slowly reminded me of a particular annoyance I experienced on my older system. I'm hoping it is such a minor change that it can be implemented with a minute's coding. I realize the use case is limited, but I think this is a "better user experience" feature.

When performing tasks on a less capable computer system, the "processing dialog" appears showing that Book 1 of 18 has been completed, representing 5.5% of the task. This display is fine until you get to the end of the task. The last bit of processing never updates the dialog.

So at Book 17 of 18, with 93.5% done, calibre processes the last book, performs whatever clean-up and returns me to the standard view. Note that I didn't mention the processing dialog being updated to show 100% complete.

On a slow computer this almost seems like the process has hung at 93.5%, or terminated without fully completing the task. There is no feedback to the user to let them know things completed successfully. An older computer could be sitting at the 93.5% stage for 30 sec - 3 minutes or more, thus my request.

If the processing dialog could be updated to show 100% it might alleviate worry. Granted a quick check verifies accurate completion, but it shouldn't be necessary.

I realize that on faster systems the dialog performs the same way (not updating to show 100%), but faster systems don't appear to have frozen, either, while waiting for calibre to return to the standard view.

Use or ignore as you see fit. Just something that always worried me on an older computer.
