We’ve improved the way in which the checkin progress is handled in the GUI so that it shows more details when the data is transferred through a slow network.
The default checkin scale uses megabytes, but if the network is too slow (sometimes checking in data through the VPN) it is equivalent to not having progress at all.
What we’ve done is to add a secondary progress bar that shows up only when the transfer is too slow. The secondary bar shows the progress of each 4Mb block being transferred. Remember Plastic splits the checkins in 4Mb chunks. The chunks can be just parts of a large file or groups of small files.
The following screencast shows how it works on a network with changing speed (we use WAMEm to modify the network bandwidth and hence overall speed). The example is not realistic but it is helpful to explain the new feature:
