What i meant is that these messages are pretty useless:
Scoring...
Scoring on article 335 of 335...
Scoring on article 339 of 335...
Scoring on article 168 of 335...
Scoring on article 197 of 335...
Scoring on article 309 of 335...
Scoring on article 322 of 335...
Scoring on article 324 of 335...
Scoring on article 329 of 335...
Scoring on article 363 of 335...
Scoring on article 378 of 335...
Scoring on article 450 of 335...
Scoring on article 549 of 335...
Scoring on article 623 of 335...
Scoring on article 780 of 335...
Scoring on article 783 of 335...
Scoring on article 803 of 335...
Scoring on article 288 of 335...
Scoring on article 89 of 335...
Scoring on article 748 of 335...
Scoring on article 750 of 335...
Scoring on article 752 of 335...
Scoring on article 772 of 335...
Scoring on article 774 of 335...
Scoring on article 779 of 335...
Scoring on article 826 of 335...
Scoring...done
Scoring...
Scoring...done
They don't give me an idea of how many articles have been done, how many
remain, how many have to be done total, or any other useful information.
The only bit of information they give is the article number it's currently on,
which doesn't really mean much. it doesn't even give the user an idea where
it is in the process until the user looks at the *Messages* buffer and figures
out how it's being sorted.
I just think messages like:
Scoring on article 1 of 25
Scoring on article 2 of 25
Scoring on article 3 of 25
Scoring on article 4 of 25
Scoring on article 5 of 25
Scoring on article 6 of 25
Scoring on article 7 of 25
Scoring on article 8 of 25
Scoring on article 9 of 25
Scoring on article 10 of 25
Scoring on article 11 of 25
Scoring on article 12 of 25
Scoring on article 13 of 25
Scoring on article 14 of 25
Scoring on article 15 of 25
Scoring on article 16 of 25
Scoring on article 17 of 25
Scoring on article 18 of 25
Scoring on article 19 of 25
Scoring on article 20 of 25
Scoring on article 21 of 25
Scoring on article 22 of 25
Scoring on article 23 of 25
Scoring on article 24 of 25
Scoring on article 25 of 25
would be far more useful, possibly with an (article number 335) at the end of
the line if you insisted.
