The indexer process can take quite a while and I suspeced it several times to
slow down my system. I had to do a ctrl+break to see that the indexer really was
doing something.

Instead of ctrl+break, the indexer should show that it is doing something in the
progress view. It dooesn't have to be ported to the core Jobs infrastructure,
but just create a 'dummy' (system-) Job and push the progress message to its
progress monitor.

Note that more feedback also helps with debugging problems, e.g. if the indexer
would get stalled, ect...

Interesting suggestion. A system job could do the trick, being non cancellable.
Should investigate for M9
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-05-05 12:24:56 EDT 
Downgrading. This is feature work which will be deferred post 3.0.

Comment 4 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-05-10 12:21:07 EDT 
Actually, intriguing if couldn't be done still.
Comment 5 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2004-05-10 13:35:33 EDT 
Added system job that reports progress when the indexer is running. The job 
terminates when there is no progress to report any longer.
Comment 6 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-05-18 18:34:05 EDT 
Verified in 200405180816 that a system job can be seen in the progress view when
set in verbose mode.
