Settings-view: show progress bar when install a package

[colin3dmax]

when I install a package , there is no progress bar ,so I don't know when the package is install success , atom need it.

There should be a cloud icon with an arrow in the top right when it is installing that switches to a green check mark when it completes, are you not seeing this?

[kevinsawicki]

Closing this out since there is feedback that an install has started, completed, or failed, it is an icon in the top right of the view.

Please reopen if I'm misunderstanding what you are referring to.

Atom is the best editors on the market now that the performance issues have been addressed, but I can't understand, for the life of me, why the updates (package and Atom itself) have no progress bar.

I tried to install a package today - progress froze due to a download running at <1kbps. A progress bar would have made figuring out the problem far more intuitive than my initial assumptions.

@zatricky it doesn’t make make much sense to me. So many specialized features have been developed and maintained, but this continues to go ignored. Not sure why.

Its part of the "modern design" that every OS now goes for. Hate it so much.

I've been waiting for a package to download for the past 15 minutes. Should I continue waiting?

A progress bar has multiple uses.

1. It tells the user the status of the process e.g download in progress, download failed.

1. It also tells the user how fast the process is going. Without this information the user cannot make a reasonable estimate of when the process is expected to complete.

2. Progress bars have been common thing in the past and most user expect to see one when they are downloading or installing something.

3. Other reasons
