The notifications and progress bar indicator in the bottom left corner of Optuma is quite useful, particularly when downloading and unpacking price data from exchanges. But it is a little too terse, and when you force a data download, or a rebuild, or something similar, there is often very few or no notifications about what is going on. It would be great to have a 'verbose' option for the progress indicator that gives you lots of information about what Optuma is doing with data. For example, when I do a rebuild of ASCII data for forex, I have to check the date/time stamp on files in my file system periodically to figure out if the rebuild has happened or not. It would be a lot nicer if Optuma told me in detail what it was doing through the progress indicator/notifier in the bottom left corner.
Just a thought.
