But isn't there a way you can trick the visual of the progress bar to be smooth and consistent instead of jumping around or is this an impossible development task?
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoYes, there are all kinds of ways to do that. But typically you see stuff like: for ( i = 1; i < 10; ++i ){ DoSomethingUseful( i ); DeterminateProgress( i, 10 ); } So each iteration of the loop, the bar advances by one-tenth its maximum length, without regard to what DoSomethingUseful actually does. Chalk it up to lazy coders and tight-fisted bean counters.
