There is no progress indication of Fix Imports action, only a tiny text on status bar which can be easily unnoticed. The action can take quite a long time. Some users reported even times up to 10 seconds. There has to be a real progress indication. Ideally a progress bar. An hour-glass cursor shape over editor window as a minimum.
I have a pretty fast machine but I have also often observed delays of several seconds using Fix Imports. A progress dialog would be much appreciated. Unless of course the action can simply be made much faster - since I find this to be the most frequently used refactoring-type operation in the IDE, optimizations here would be quite valuable.
Dane, a few users complained in the performance survey that Fix Imports action is too slow. Will you do something about this in 4.1? Thanks.
We are tuning the underlying infrastructure with intensions to improve performance of Fix Imports action. Tomas H. has already achieved some improvements.
