Uploading gcode to repetier server freezes UI of RH

guffy

hi
Usually when you start printing to server it tooks about ~20-30sec for upload gcode to the server. I guess it performing in the main thread and during this time UI hangs and looks corrupted. This confuses a user because it looks like something wrong with the application. I think it woild be nice to add here some progress dialog to showing what's going on.

Yes, it is a http request that blocks main thread. Will have to check if a callback for progress exists.

this you can try to use for chunk by chunk uploading with showing progress

this could be used for just simple background uploading

or you can spawn a new thread and push updates to main thread
