3118	Indicate what background processes JOSM is running	avarab@…	team	"When JOSM is running some background thread (e.g. photo importing, see ticket:3117) it'll sometimes use up 100% cpu and a lot of memory making it and the whole system sluggish and unresponsive.

It would be nice if such background threads JOSM ran would register that they're running & update their status. JOSM could then display a process indicator (e.g. in the top-right corner) showing e.g.:

  Generating thumbnails for photo import for layer 'Foo' (1/123)

UPDATE:
Imagery background requests should also be displayed (from #6340)"	enhancement	new	normal		Core			background	nikolaymetchev@… skyper
