Hi Oliver,

Thank you for restoring the progress bar dialog. While the library load 
time has recently decreased a lot, the UI freeze still happens with long 
library lists.
Disclaimer: I have not looked at the code yet, I am just praising the idea.

As you are looking on the Symbol Library Table dialog, I suppose you 
might be also tempted to add a file browser to add new libraries. If 
that is the case, please refrain from doing so - it is done in the 
library editor refactor branch. If you had no such intention, then 
simply ignore this message.

Cheers,
Orson
