Description

it is mentioned on the readme that "update all examples" takes a while, but still, having a semi-responsive window with no indication of progress or activity is a bit unnerving.

could a form of feedback be introduced, either a spinner type thing, or a log at the bottom indicating the project currently being processed? or at the very least change significantly (disable) the appearance of the "update multiple" button while the process is under way?

Research direction

Start by reading the README and locating the GUI action labeled “update all examples” or “update multiple.” Determine where the long-running operation is handled and make completion visibly clear through progress feedback or a changed button state; done means the window no longer appears idle while processing.
