No components in the table

[valerionew]

Hey, I'm a new user of the plugin, just installed it! Maybe there is some crucial information that I am not finding, but I have been looking around for a while and couldn't find anything. Apologies in advance if this is trivial!

Describe the bug
When the plugin is opened, no components are there. I have installed the plugin from the manager.

This is my log. Maybe it is relevant, maybe not, but it seems that the order of things in the log is a bit off.

I think you have to repopen the plugin.
For some reson if you open it the first time it download the database and does not read the parts from the board.
On the second opening, it does that and you're good to go.

Let me know if that works.

Hey,

If you reopen the plugin after the download of the parts (which took a long time for me, with not a lot of feedback, which is why I didn't understand that the download was ongoing in the background), then it shows the parts list

[Bouni]

I changed the download and unzip code just days ago, now you get visual feedback in the prgress bar at the bottom while the download and unzip is ongoing (log messages as well).

I think I tried the version with the bar already, but the bar was super jumpy and flickery, so maybe that's why I may have overlooked it.

Would it be possible to move the bar inside the download button instead? To me, that would be a more straight-forward indication that the download is ongoing.

BTW it's really an amazing plug in, now that I managed to use it. Thank you very much for your work!
