Lack of program feedback
I have a model that is linked to a large Oracle database. Most functions I perform seem to require Quantrix to go into a processing mode, which is fine except that it gives absolutely no indication that it is in that mode, it simply appears frozen. Can’t you guys program a spinning wheel or hourglass or something?
Of course, many programs can freeze while displaying their spinning wheel or whatever, but at least directly after you perform some command that requires processing you get the feedback that it might take a while, instead of leaving the program looking like it is ready to perform another task, which just encourages pointless clicking that queues up a bunch of mouseclicks that you may not want performed by the time the processing completes.
Hi John,
I am sorry you are having difficulty with the application. The actions you are describing (DataLink or DataNAV updates) should be associated with a progress panel. Calculation is indicated by the Spinner at the lower right corner of the application.
I would be interested to know what action specifically is locking up the user interface so we can evaluate and fix the issue.
Thanks,
Brian
