Add progress bars to Merging / Save revision as windows.
Save revision as freezes the entire Plastic SCM client while it downloads the file from the server and saves it on disk. This unacceptable, especially for big files.
Progress bars must be added to Merging / Save revision as windows so users can see, well, the progress of the operation, and not wonder did it get stuck or something. Especially for people with slow internet connections.

But why don't you use a replica? I mean, DVCS is superior by design to centralized development... That's where most of our effort goes. You just pull and then all connection issues are gone.

i just happened to work remotely and there goes my hope for plastic becoming more user friendly.

Hi Rubat,
Well, we'll definitely not add a progress dialog for this, since we're trying to remove all extra dialogs from the GUI, but we'll definitely find a solution for the "hanging".
Now, onto your workflow: why are you using a server connected to the internet?? I mean, don't you work in distributed mode with a local repo on your machine to make every operation blazing fast?

Oh, and a progress bar for "Undo in progress" window as well.
