Description Alexander Pepin 2011-03-03 16:27:36 UTC 
1. NB projects do not have special icons in "import project" file chooser and looks like an ordinal folders
2. No progress bar appears while importing (creating a shadow project) meanwhile it takes pretty long time (~10 sec)
Comment 1 Vladimir Voskresensky 2011-03-03 16:29:22 UTC 
I will work on this
Comment 2 Alexander Pepin 2011-03-03 16:49:26 UTC 
3. "shadow" disappears from the project name after reviewing project properties

It is performance issue. IDE can provide icons. In this case IDE must looks content of folder, content of curent_folder/netbeans/ folder, read curent_folder/netbeans/project.xml. Performance will be decreased in many times.
Comment 4 Vladimir Kvashin 2011-03-03 17:21:12 UTC 
I believe fixing (1) is a must, otherwise user won't understand what's going on in the case of delay (which is quite possible when copying remote project metadata to local host).

I'm not sure (2) is worth fixing in 7.0.
Comment 5 Vladimir Kvashin 2011-03-03 17:24:17 UTC 
Please disregards my previous comment 
(I mixed item numbers, so actually meant the opposite)

I believe adding a progress dialog is a must, otherwise user won't understand what's going on in the case of delay (which is quite possible when copying remote project meta-data to local host).

As to project icons, they are less important, in my opinion.

Alexander, what do you mean? And is it bad or good? :-)

 It's bad as any unexpected change. On the other hand I'm not sure that we need to have "shadow" in the project name at all.
