Privatebin: Upload bar for files
@rlex:
Subj. Will be nice to have when you uploading 100mb+ files.
@nitmir:
If I am right, files are base64 encoded (by javascript) in the web page body (href="data:mime;base64,iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGl…). So dealing with big files should not work very well and be really resource greedy.

BTW somehow https://send.firefox.com/ also manages to show a progress indicator. (Maybe only for upload through, as it first shows a "reading file" or so for a few seconds at the start.)

You mentioned here that a progress bar isn't possible for every step of the process, but I think it would already suffice to have it show the different steps AND a progress bar just for the upload.
So step 1: compressing, Step 2: encrypting, Step 3: Uploading [xxx ] <- this is the progress bar
The "Step 2: encrypting" could gently "flash" (fade out and back in) to indicate that it is ongoing.

Any update on this? I think the solution suggested by @qol3m would be very nice.

Sorry, we are busy with a lot of things. However, as an open-source project, we would of course always appreciate pull requests that implement this feature. :smiley:
