User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061111 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: atm there is nothing to indicate that squeeze is doing anything (except the cpu-usage) This should be fixed, perhaps by adding a progressbar to the statusbar or by adding a thingy like thunar has in his menu. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
for opening an archive i suggest a throbber (the thunar thingy ;)) and when extracting or adding files to an archive i suggest using a small window with a progress bar like thunar has for file operations like copy and move. this way you can have the progress bar also when you use the t-a-p for extracting or creating archives to have a response for the user while the archive is created but you don't have to show the full application window. just show the progress bar while files are extracted and then get rid of it again when squeeze is done with extracting or adding files. i don't know if it would be good to have this progress window modal or not. if you make it modal, you can't do anything else in squeeze for the time it is busy, but you wouldn't have to block anything for the active tab but you want to try to do something in another tab for example. in this case you would have to block all actions for the active tab but not for all the others (if there are any). making the progress window modal would be the easiest way.
