|    |    Thats a feature of the scrollbar dialog. Namely not to show up
|    | before it is certain that the whole progress will take at least 4
|    | seconds.
|    |
|    | The problem is that it sometimes takes a minute to appear (if the
|    | images are very large).  It looks like it's only checking every
|    | 10 images or so?
|
|    I guess you are right that it only updates every 10 image. What
|    size of images do you have, that takes kimdaba more than a minute
|    to just run md5 sums of 10 images?
|
| 120 MB (4000 DPI scans of 35 mm film at 16 bit image depth).  If I
| were using medium format, it could easily be 300 MB.
|
| It actually takes about 3 seconds per image, so maybe the 1 minute was
| a little high of an estimate, but that's a long time for no response.
OK I've changed the code to update the scrollbar for each and every image, 
thanks for reporting.

Cheers
Jesper.
