Summary

0001626: UI tweak: progress bar in pop-up windows instead of in status bar.

Description

Now SUMo has a separate pop-up window for every major operation (loading, scanning and checking) and one combined progress bar. I think it would be appropriate to move it from the current status bar area to the corresponding pop-up windows for the reasons outlined below:

1) "Loading", "Checking" and "Scanning" pop-up windows already used in GUI;

2) Pop-up windows always take much more attention from user than status bar and therefore more visible;

3) The progress meter in the status bar and text updates in the pop-up window complement each other and eventually serve the same purpose -- visually informing user of program's long action progress in an easy to comprehend way. Ability to see them in one place make for a better UX;

The outcome: less clutter in UI, cleaner status bar and more screen real estate for static UI (item list), button controls (Stop/Cancel) are close to applicable progress meters.
