screenshot of misbehaving progress bar

yast2-scanner shows a progress bar when /var/lib/YaST2/scanner_database.ycp does not yet exist and is created.
However, the progress bar will expect 585.9 KB to be 100% while the file is created with 891164 bytes.

Maybe it is more reliable to go by the number of records, which is 3088 today and might be easier to autodetect.
Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2011-02-10 08:25:48 UTC 
I would like to show a plain progress bar without
the "KB" stuff which does not make any sense here.

This "KB" stuff is an artificial oversophisticated
automatic "addon" which is shown only for the GTK UI.

I cannot switch this "KB" nonsense off in my YCP code
which calls this progress bar widget.

I must specify the final file size (i.e. what is 100%)
in advance when I call this progress bar widget
but at this time I don't know the final file size.
I only know the file size after scanner_database.ycp
was created but its size depends on the installed
scanner driver packages so that in the end it is
impossible to specify the final file size in advance.

As always I will try again to somehow work around
the various shortcomings of the widgets in YaST...
