"Making album" window
Posted: 14-Jan-2020 04:52

During album generation, a "Making album" window shows the progress.

Is a skin able to add messages to this window? Mirage does some work during album initialization and index initialization, and this sometimes lasts long enough that the user may think that album generation is stuck.

Maybe the monitored work queue would do?

And code snippet, MonitoredWorkQueue, long tasks by David Ekholm, http://jalbum.net/help/en/Code_Snippets

Correct

There is no public API for this currently. If you use BeanShell or reflection, then you can call AlbumBean.fireImageProcessingStarted and pass a AlbumBeanEvent object describing what you're up to (passing the message in the "msg" parameter. Using BeanShell, you call setAccessibility(true) first in order to access fireImageProcessingStarted, which is a protected method)

I tried this. It creates a message in a separate progress window, so it doesn't do what I want.

I added reflection and tried this and it worked, first time! I'm in shock!

I just need to make some improvements to the messages now.

When this happens to me, I take the rest of the week off. No sense tempting fate.

Thanks, I was very curious about how the code would look, and I’m sure it is going to get incorporated in other skins sooner or later.

I should probably make those fire* methods public. That would expose the AlbumBeanEvent, but it's already exposed. With these methods public, you can call them without reflection, but would require v19.3
