Operation Progress Not Visible with Long Filenames and Directory Paths

[DiveShallow]

1. Issue:
- Current page progress is obscured if the directory or filename is long.
- Only the total number of pages is visible.
- See screenshot:

2. Possible Solution:
- Omit the full file path and ensure the text in parentheses is never truncated.
- Example: (Document 1/5, Operation 1/2, Page 15/500) ParentDirectory/File...Name.pdf

3. Additional Suggestions:
- Move the progress bar to the center of the screen for a more intuitive user experience, similar to the OCR progress bar location in Xchange Editor.
- Add a pause button.
- Add a "Silent Mode" checkbox next to the pause button (suppress dialogues, log errors, auto-number filename conflicts, save files to desktop if unset).

Hello DiveShallow,

Thank you for your suggestions.

I will forward them to our developers for consideration.

Hopefully, they will be able to implement all of them.

Regards.

Operation Progress Not Visible with Long Filenames and Directory Paths

Operation Progress and ETA are not displayed not because the paths are long, but because the PDF-Tools does not yet support displaying both (neither in the application window nor in the taskbar). To receive notifications about changes to these FRs, subscribe to updates to the "Tracking progress" and "Feature Request - show progress in taskbar icon" topics.

Hi,

Our developers are still working on that FR.
