Bug description:
If you launch an application, for example the media player, and it
take a few seconds to load there is no feedback that the OS is doing
something.
In my usual case I am launching by double clicking on a media file and
the application can take up to 20 seconds to load. I often do not know
whether I double clicked fast enough and do it again leading to
multiple copies of the application opening (which leads to a separate
set of issues)
In other operating systems this is normally handled by immediately
showing an hour glass icon or similar while the application is opened.
Ubuntu 11.04, default setup except desktop effects are turned off. I'm
not sure if this is easy to fix or not.
-----------------------------------
Desired resolution:
- As soon as a user chooses to open a file (for example by double clicking on
the file in Nautilus, or single clicking on the file in the Dash File Lens),
the 'loading' Launcher effect should be triggered *if* the target application
is not currently running.
(the 'loading' Launcher effect is currently triggered when a user clicks on a
non-running application in the launcher)
- If the target application is not pinned to the Launcher, it should
be added to the Launcher instantaneously the moment the user chooses
to open the file.
- The 'application loading' should always be triggered instantaneously
when ever a application starts to load, even if the application is not
pinned to the Launcher. This includes when applications are launched
via either the Dash or the command line.
- also fix bug #893140
