It would be nice to have some kind of indicator to show the progress of the load command.  No problem for small files, which only takes a seconds, but when there is a lot of data it would be reassuring to see a progress bar.  

If this is not possible, then why is it possible when moving files, say when you click and drag on  Windows machine.
