Calculation for "Download along track" takes too long

[stoecker]

Either the calculations for downloading along a track need to speed up or a progress report must be added.

[Gubaer]

The calculation is quite fast, the message box which informs about the number of downloads required pops up almost instantantly. Then the download of the download areas runs asynchronously, a PleaseWaitDialog shows the progress and the whole task can be cancelled.

Can you be more specific? What's the problem? Or is this solved in the meantime?

[stoecker]

Do a 50m/1sq km for a 100/200 km track and calculation takes 10-30 seconds before the number of downloads pops up.

fix #3247 by showing a progress report for long calculations.

It's only guessed how long the calulation will take. If you have a GPX file which takes long (> 1 second) to compute but doesn't show a progress bar, please attach it to this ticket with the download-along-settings used, so the threshold to show the progress bar can be fine tuned.
