2012-08-31 10:14:05 John Lea description When a Preview needs to fetch online data, it can take a moment before being displayed. After a click on a result, there is no visual feedback on what is happening and no way to know if the click has been acknoweldged by the Dash. This could be fixed in different ways: - Showing a spinner on the result icon. - Showing a spinner on the cursor. - Instantly opening the preview pane, with, as a transition : the result icon on the left pane, the result title on the right, a spinner on top (the same as the one appearing when navigating between previews) and updating the content when the actual preview data is here.

Reduce the incidence of this happening by speculatively pre-cacheing the preview data. This pre-cacheing should start as soon as the results finish loading into the screen, and should continue until the user exits the Dash, performs another search, or opens a preview. When the user opens a preview, results subsequent to the preview should start pre-cacheing. 2. When the user opens a preview that is not pre-chached, the preview should open instantly, and the content should then load into the already opened preview. A spinner can be displayed in the place of the image to inform the user that the preview is loading. Note the pre-caching is very important to reduce the incidence of the user seeing the loading state. All major browsers currently speculatively pre-cache content, so if we are match user's expectations regarding speed of content display (shaped by using web browsers) this is something we really need to do.
