Import dialog enhancements

[x9t9]

After testing with importing several folders ( not too many photos ) I feel that the import dialog is really lacking on the uX side - specifically on 3 issues :

1 - There seems to be no way to stop, cancel or pause the import
2 - There is no way to see the progress ( Progress bar, or last / current processed image or folder )
3 - There is no way to close the import dialog in case something went wrong with import .

These point are important also because the import process is far from being smooth ( or fast.. ) and lack of info ( or possibility to pause ) makes that much harder to debug .

I can see the other issues you mentioned but:

2 - There is no way to see the progress ( Progress bar, or last / current processed image or folder )

This is not true. When uploading multiple file you can clearly see those waiting, the one being uploaded, those being processed and those already finished.

But I can also see that we are missing a sort of progress bar.

@ildyria I am sorry, I was referring to the import dialog not upload.
My test was using the import from server function and I could see no such indication of progress.

Oh, I never used this function before.

Server import needs some progress indicators, it's running for a very long time and knowing what was/wasn't transferred is difficult. Can it be viewed in a debug log file somehow perhaps?
