On the other hand if something was shown to the user indicating changes were pending, yet allowed other tasks to be done simultaneously and still have everything come out in correct synchronous order, are people not better off with the 'lie'?
- millstone 11y agoWhat you describe is ideal and not a lie. Reporting progress ("Saving...") while allowing concurrent edits is great! But it's dangerous to claim the file has been saved before the save is complete, in the name of "make things look fast."
