Unfortunately you can't show a progress bar until you know how many results you're looking for (catch 22), so I think a spinner would be the only feedback possible, perhaps with a status message if there is more than one pass (find vs. file), and/or a count of files found so far. I've not tested this activity, but it definitely sounds like some clear user feedback of progress is essential to its success. --Gary > _______________________________________________ > Testing mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
