'status working' bug?
« on: August 29, 2006, 06:34:19 AM »

Like this app very much ... The only real issue I've had is that the 'status - working' indicator, which animates back and forth, does not stop after the 'completed successfully' window pops up.  This is a logical contradiction.  If the upload is 'completed successfully' then the 'status-working' animation should stop, shouldn't it?  (Of course it does stop after I close the 'completed successfully' window).

Also, the 'completed successfully' window pops up suscpiciously fast -- too fast.  A long post received the 'complete' window in a milisecond.  Yet the 'status-woring' indicator was still working as just described.

Just to double-check the accuracy of the 'complete sucessfully' message,  I once quickly closed this window (i.e., in under a second), then logged on to my site.  As I'd suspected, the post was NOT posted.

Since then, I've repeated the double-checking procedure, but have waited a few seconds to allow the posting to complete in fact.  Things work okay.

In sum, the 'completed successfully' message is probably too hair-trigger, at least on my install.  There may be a bug.

DE... I checked the code to be sure and the "Completed Successfully" message is only displayed after the site mambot tells Blogg-X that all functions have been completed on the server side and that no errors were encountered.  Most likely the delay is being caused while the server is reorganizing the frontpage posts so that the newest one is displayed first.  After looking at the code I don't believe there is a bug but more of a chance to make the error detection a little more robust and I will be changing the code to wait for the reordering to take place.  As for the progress bar I will look into it more deeply but at the moment that portion of the new code is incomplete, but I do agree that it should stop before the popup window appears.  Thanks for the good eye!!
