When copying, create all progress bars in advance

[mtrmac]

Per #1530 (review) :

Something I would love to see in the UX is to draw all progress bars before pulling. Currently, a bar is drawn the moment we start pulling the blob.

It would be nice to have them all drawn before.

Considerations:

• Do we do this just for layers (which should be easy), or including the config (currently a separate progress pool)?
• Would we want to differentiate “not started working on this blob yet” vs. “started and made no progress” somehow? Is that possible?

Thanks for filing the issue!

Do we do this just for layers (which should be easy), or including the config (currently a separate progress pool)?

Starting with layers would already be a very nice improvement.

Would we want to differentiate “not started working on this blob yet” vs. “started and made no progress” somehow? Is that possible?

That's an interesting idea. I think it would be good have a queued status initially and only draw the bar when the pulling for a given blob has commenced.
