UI request - tell when done searching

[mbourgon]

Needs a way to acknowledge it's done. On my desktop I hear the hard drive stop. Even just a "done searching" would be helpful

[Quade]

Well, the progress bar goes away when it's done.

I'll think about your request.

[mbourgon]

Sorry, sir, this was for the NBRemote app. And hey, never put 2 & 2 together on the desktop app - more fool me.

[Quade]

I'll be more careful about what forum I'm in next time.

[mbourgon]

All good, and didn't mean to imply otherwise. Been using and loving the app for years - but I'm one of "those users", the ones who want to make sure it works Just Right, the ones who use every single option, critique every little thing - I want it to be AWESOME. And hey, I've found at least one impressive bug (to me at least) and had it crash twice. I'm a Power User, baby!

What part crashed? IOS app or Newsbin?

[Jonny]

I'm not clear at what search you are referring to, Internet search or groups search? It is also unclear what you mean by "done searching"?

Quade: the iOS app.

Jonny: groups search. I open the group (ABM, in this specific case), and while it loads the past 14 days (as per the filter) nothing shows. If I type in something, it sits there with "Number of sets: 0" (or, if it's loaded the NG's posts already, "Number of sets: 4293") for a while, before eventually showing the results of the search. But it just sits there, with no sign it's doing anything.

When you select the group I issue the command to load the group. While Newsbin is busy loading the group there is no feedback in NBRemote. When Newsbin is done I load the table view, which is a visual clue to that the loading is done. I guess what you want is some other indication in case the loading rendered zero results?

Correct - currently, there's no difference between a search that returns no results, and a search that will eventually turn up something, but hasn't yet finished.

[Jonny]

In the latest beta, it displays Loading in the table footer during load. I don't think it's clear enuogh so I might put in a spinner instead.

Just played with the new version. I like the "loading" spinner - maddening when you have a lot of stuff, but overall GREATLY appreciated. This is...very nice.
