Someone with more UI development can comment here , but i always thought progress bars where more like a signal to the user that "something is being done" , and not a representation of how much is done and how much is left.
- masklinn 11y agoThe whole point of a progressbar is to show work progress (as a fraction of total work). The issue is it's often difficult to map "work done" to a linear percentage, so either you do it on the cheap and your progressbar is just a souped-up spinner with no relation to wall-clock work time or you do lots of extra work to get more precise estimates but you end up taking more time overall.
