These days, I have started to implement asynchronous inserting/writing
of buffers, which are bound to a remote file. There I have also the
problem to indicate the user, that the operation hasn't been finished yet.
The progress-reporter, spinning in the echo area, is not an option,
because the minibuffer shall be usable. Therefore I'm thinking about to
reactivate the old proposal of a progress-reporter extension, spinning \
| / in the modeline (more precisely: in `mode-line-remote').
I believe it would be a good thing, if running asynchronous operations
are made visible consistently in Emacs. Maybe we could agree on the same
function?
Best regards, Michael.
