#How-To stack #011 by Eric Chatonet " 3/16/05 Initial release 45/27/05 Modified for Tutorial Picker compatibility @ 3 6Good ergonomics takes care of managing user waitings. 5 ]This stack shows the different ways of indicating to the user that he has to wait a moment . \ Enjoy! v Using the watch cursor during very short tasks is not a good idea since user's perception will be this app is slow! @ 1600 > ? % d | Don't using any means of indicating to the user that your app is running a long task is a bad idea too: this app crashed! @ 1600 ? @ ) i In addition, task length often depends on the situation: computer speed and current process (you don't know if a folder dropped by the user contains 1, 10 or 500 files). @ 1600 : ; " ] O Sometimes you will have to check first the task length to determine if an indication is needed: for instance, see the scripts of the Rev Application Browser where a specific cursor is only used when the length of a list counts more than 50 lines. There are many ways of indicating waiting time : static cursors (like watch on Mac OS), animated cursors (like busy cursor), animated gifs (like chasing arrows or "barber poll") and progression bars (more accurate for long tasks). 1 1 ?
