DISPLAY PROGRESS OF CREATING AN ARCHIVE FOR DOWNLOAD
5-th November 2018 8:27:02 GMT
A small and useful addition to FileTank download system.
Before a user downloads a folder, or several files and/or folders, FileTank prepares them zipped in an archive. The process can take a couple of minutes. During this period the user is presented a static 'Please wait' message.
But when the archeve is really big the user decides they have waited enough, perhaps something has went wrong, etc. They reload the page and start creating the same big archive.
This is a waste of time, user's nerve energy and system resources.
Now a progress bar and percent value updated at regular intervals makes them sure everything is going well. They'll get what they've been waiting for.
