The first loading of a big database (for example a Roam import) can take a very long time. Currently, there is only a spinner with no indication of how much time is left, or whether it’s even progressing.
While it’s impossible to perfectly predict the time, it should be quite trivial to do a count of files to parse, and show both a progress bar and a count (1444/2000 files processed). This would also let us know whether it’s still progressing or it has crashed.
