FS#1262 - Missing some kind of "QCAD is still working" indicator.
If I have to do some kind of intense tasks like converting a previous Polyline, which is now exploded to lines (maybe a couple hundred thousand short lines) back to a polyline (Polyline/Create from Segments) QCAD needs time to do that. In this “working time” I can’t see any indicator that QCAD is working. Not a Hourglass on the mouse or some other indicator. I have just the feeling: Nothing is going on right now ...
It would be nice to have some kind of visual info that QCAD is working.

Husky, Fully agree.
I now look at the CPU usage or listen to the CPU fan.
QCAD Status Bar has a Progress Bar implemented.
FlexPainter uses that when there are more than 3 base entities selected.
Sometimes it is overkill like on 3 short line segments but with long and complex base shapes and/or many painting to do 1 base entity might already induce a seemingly dead time.
The question here is to foresee what will take some extra time to complete.
Otherwise it would only pop up for a very short instance and probably distract more than being useful.
Voted for it, you might want to add your vote yourself.
