[jira] [Commented] (WHIMSY-321) Add a loading indicator for long-running "Use PDF data" operations

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-321?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17081242#comment-17081242 ] 

Sebb commented on WHIMSY-321:
-----------------------------

It would help to have some example PDFs that take a long time.

One possibility might be to disable the relevant entry fields whilst the parse is in progress. One would need to be careful not to leave the fields disabled if the parse fails ...

> When I click the "Use PDF data" button to parse ICLA data, sometimes this takes several seconds or even up to a minute or so to complete. As there is no indicator that a background task is running, there have been times in the past where I've began manually filling out details from the form while the background task was running which eventually completed and overwrite what I was typing while I was typing. To improve on the UX, I'd like some sort of loading indicator while that is going on.
