Status indicator when loading QGIS project files

[neumann]

It would be nice if we could have a status indicator when loading a qgis-project. Some of my project have 20+ layers and when loading such a project, QGIS seems to do nothing for a couple seconds (up to half a minute).

Some of my users then think that the program hangs or crashed.

I think it would be great to have some sort of indication of what QGIS is doing while loading a project, telling the user which dataset it is currently loading, rendering or working on:

Some of the options:

• Write a message in the statusbar to indicate which layer qgis is currently working on
• a dialogue displaying the progress
• a progress bar (either in status bar or separate dialogue)
• a list of layers to load and a status indicator to tell which layer is

already loaded and which layers are still pending

Thanks for considering to deal with this enhancement!

r10673 triggers the progress bar which layers are loaded.
