Looking for UI behaviour ideas ........ When I have a case of large
file download that needs a long response preparation scenario due to
file prep time, I normally do one of these 2:
1) Open a popup Window saying sth like "please wait while we prepare
your file..." and that popup runs the long response and returns the
file to be downloaded when the file is ready after long response
preparation is over, . or
2) Go to a long response page saying "please wait while we prepare
your file..." and that page returns the file when the long response is
over, but since the file to be downloaded is the "nextPage" response,
the user stays on that same page.
Not sure if I am happy with either of those, and maybe there is a more
elegant way such as having the long response "nextPageOnCompletion
action somehow fire two consecutive actions ...... one to download the
file and the other to return to the original page ....... not sure if/
what Ajax framework has bits to accomplish that .....
In any case, what other UI behaviour approaches are others in the
community doing for this situation where a long response is needed to
generate a file and download the file in one user action?
