Hi DHIS developers,

I would like to make a request for the implementation of some type of
progress bar that will indicate that some long-term operation is in
progress. Some data maintainence, import tasks and report generation
tasks (such as the generation of a dataset for a chart) can take a
very long time. It has happened that I will not wait for a particular
operation to complete before moving on and doing something else. Would
it be possible to

1) Provide some type of visual clue that an operation is in progress?
2) Include some type of JavaScript warning (a la gmail) , perhpas "Are
you sure you want to navigate away from this page while this operation
is in progress?" to prevent users from mistakenly navigating away from
a long-term operation?

Best regards,
Jason
