"Turning Wheel" when accessing something
Answers
-
No, but the immediate feedback is that it's too big/jarring/not good.
So we'll tweak this for the next EA drop and you can let us know if we're getting closer to perfect.
-
Even if you make it small, it's so painfully distracting to have this thing show up whenever you open another tab in the table browser! I'd understand if I were running a long query, but most of the times every tab is displayed in a tiny fraction of a second (only DDL generation may take a few seconds...). A screen fade+rotating animation is really unnecessary for such sub-second waits.
At least please disable this thing for sub-second queries. We just don't need it!
-
Yeah, maybe leave it on and make it smaller, but add a preference so it can just be turned off.
-
Hmmm, it already has a delay. Will double-check that it is indeed working.
-
You shouldn't see any visual effect or task dialog at all for short running tasks. I'll check tomorrow.

o Bug 20198279 - 4.1 EA1 - LOADING ANIMATION VERY LARGE
- Fix error to really delay presentation of any task dialog or loading animation for background tasks (was instant in some cases)
- Delay is 1sec based on Response Time Limits: Article by Jakob Nielsen
-
I second the notion for an option to disable it. I already know my IDE does something if I started the action myself; I don't really need a pointless full-screen indicator obstructing other things I might take a look at instead.
-
Wait for the 2nd EA drop and reconsider.
There's nothing to obstruct, the animation only appears while the UI is unavailable for clicking/typing.
-
Sorry to be so blunt, but this animation is absolutely horrible. When I saw it the first time I thought that it was some flash animation popup appearing from somewhere else...
Please just replace it with a plain vanilla busy mouse cursor like in every other application or at least give us the option to disable that turn wheel.
I appreciate your efforts in making SQL Developer more fancy, but when I see this busy indicator I feel like I am operating a flash animation and not a high sophisticated development tool.
cheers

This will be what you see in v4.1, EA2
